The Withdrawal: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and the fragility of U.S. power by Noam Chomsky, Vijay Prashad
3.0
3.25 stars
This book suffers from format and bias. I picked this up wanting to learn more about the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan and not how evil the US is. Clearly atrocities were committed, but in the context of the subject matter and thesis of the book, there are definitely one too many diatribes.
This is a transcript style book that reads like a podcast. I agree with other reviews that the formatting feels lazy and sometimes it's hard to keep track of who's talking. This has the same tone as the Norman Mailer episode in Gilmore Girls.
