Noam Chomsky and Nathan J. Robinson trace the history of U.S. military and economic intervention around the world. They show how America’s pursuit of global dominance has destabilized numerous countries, including through wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These actions are often justified by humanitarian rhetoric and claims of benevolent intent. The authors argue that the same enduring myths that fueled these disastrous wars now threaten humanity’s future. They highlight how U.S. policies continue to worsen major global crises such as nuclear proliferation and climate change.
