The Withdrawal: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and the fragility of U.S. power by Noam Chomsky, Vijay Prashad

challenging dark informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

In The Withdrawal, Chomsky and Prashad shed light on the little known (in the U.S.) facts and details of the recent U.S. interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. In this conversational book, the United States narrative of “bringing peace” and “countering terrorism” is flipped on its head as the facts are laid out, demonstrating that the U.S. has no desire for peace, and instead only cares to inflict its will on the global population with no regard for international law (which does not apply to the United States). A deeply informative book. A must read for anyone concerned with US militarism, use of force, and global human rights.
