This book brings together articles that were censored and others that were published but obscured because they opposed the official narratives of major political events. Noam Chomsky, a prominent political dissident and columnist for the New York Times, presents these with boldness and defiance.

More than fifty analyses address U.S. foreign policies that threaten its core existence, as well as its wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the rise of China. It discusses Latin America's leftward shift, the nuclear proliferation risks in Iran and North Korea, Israel's invasion of Gaza, and the expansion of settlements in Jerusalem and the West Bank. Climate change, the Arab Spring, the assassination of Osama bin Laden, and the Occupy protests are also covered.

The book reflects a commitment to democracy and the power of grassroots movements, particularly the global Occupy movement, urging continuous struggle against violations, inequality, and corporate arrogance. This work may trouble some readers misled by deceptive American politics, but its sharp perspective and strong advocacy for struggle and rebellion aid the majority in making informed decisions and resisting future manipulation.

Noam Chomsky, an American philosopher, linguist, cognitive scientist, historian, and political activist, was born in 1928. He is an Emeritus Professor of Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he worked for over fifty years. Considered one of the world's leading intellectuals, he is ranked eighth among the most cited sources of all time, in a list including the Bible and Karl Marx, and is often described as the father of modern linguistics and a key figure in analytical philosophy. His work has influenced fields like computer science, mathematics, and psychology. He is credited with founding the theory of generative grammar, considered the most significant contribution to theoretical linguistics in the twentieth century, along with the Chomsky hierarchy and universal grammar theory, and the Chomsky-Schützenberger theorem. He is known for his criticism of U.S. foreign policy, state capitalism, and mainstream media, authoring over a hundred books on wars, politics, and media.
