Middle East Illusions offers chapters written by Chomsky just before the 2000 Palestinian Intifada and up through October 2002, when 9-11 and a prospective U.S. military campaign against Iraq add new pressures to age-old conflicts. The book also includes the full text of Chomsky's earlier book, Peace in the Middle East? Reflections on Justice and Nationhood, written during the crucial period spanning the Six-Day and 1973 wars, which continue to define and deeply influence events in the Middle East today.
Industry Reviews
After 9/11 everything we were selling was an analysis of the Middle East. I've ordered 100 copies of Chomsky's new one, Middle East Illusions. -- Edward Nawotka * Publishers Weekly *
It's impossible not to agree with him most of the time, and I've yet to find a book of his that doesn't sell. * The Bookseller *
Acting as a deliberately provocative American conscience, Chomsky argues that Israel behaves like a colonial power in the Occupied Territories. His indictments of casual American hypocrisy and abuse of power are important, and his thesis that Israel's actions, far from enhancing its security, compromise it by polarizing opinion both within Israel and beyond is reasonable. * Sunday Times *
This is a lucid, well-documented, first-class book that should be in every library. * Day By Day *
In Middle East Illusions, Noam Chomsky proposes an alternative resolution to the conflict between Israel and Palestine and questions the territory's strategic and economic importance to the industrial powers, most notably the United States. * Z Magazine *
An intriguing, scholarly analysis of fateful errors and lasting impacts. * The Bookwatch *
Answers divisive questions about the Israeli-Arab policy and U.S. involvement in the Middle East. * Foreword Reviews *
