  Hegemony or Survival is Noam Chomsky's essential polemic on American foreign policy. Noam Chomsky, the world's foremost intellectual activist, presents an irrefutable analysis of America's pursuit of total domination and the catastrophic consequences that are sure to follow. From the funding of repressive regimes to the current 'war on terror', from the toppling of governments opposing its beliefs to the invasion of Iraq, America pursues its global strategy no matter what the cost. With the rigour and insight that have made him our most important unraveller of accredited lies, Noam Chomsky reveals the truth and the true motives behind America's quest for dominance - and seeks also to show how the world may yet step back from the brink.

  Is America's superpower mentality leading us all towards global disaster? The United States' pursuit of global domination is a recipe for planetary destruction, argues Noam Chomsky. The militarization of space, the development of ballistic missile defences and the flouting of numerous international agreements - all these are making the world far more dangerous and unstable, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Taking in the war on terrorism, the Bush doctrine and the all-important question Is resistance possible? , Chomsky presents us with a lucid and powerful argument against the American government's aggressive strategies and sets the agenda for the next phase of debate and activism.
