Aims to show that the agenda of American politics is nothing less than world domination. This book claims that if we do not resist, this will result in the end of the world.
With the striking logic that is his trademark, Chomsky dissects America's quest for global supremacy, tracking the US government's aggressive pursuit of policies intended to achieve "full spectrum dominance" at any cost. He lays out vividly how the various strands of policy - the militarization of space, the ballistic-missile defence programme, unilateralism, the dismantling of international agreements, and the war in Iraq - cohere in a drive for hegemony that ultimately threatens our survival. In our era, he argues, empire is a recipe for an earthly wasteland.
