Culture of Terrorism

Chomsky, Noam

Chomsky ends his preface to The Culture of Terrorism with the words, “As the latest inheritors of a grim tradition, we should at least have the integrity to look in the mirror without evasion”.

The tradition to which he is referring is none other than the Western imperial project and in encouraging Americans to pursue integrity, he dissects the events of just one year – 1986 – at the height of the Reagan Era and describes American involvement in acts of supreme state terror, both open and clandestine, to present a case study which has great relevance today and whose lessons must never be forgotten.

For too long now, many of Chomsky’s most important books have been left to languish. Introducing Pluto’s ’Chomsky Perspectives’ series: a collectible, beautiful new list, with cover design by David Pearson. Including both enduring favourites and neglected essentials, these books will appeal to the serious Chomsky reader.
