Who Rules the World? by Noam Chomsky

Who Rules the World? by Noam Chomsky

Examines America's pursuit and exercise of power in a post 9/11 world. Drawing on examples ranging from expanding drone assassination programs to civil war in Syria to the violence in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Israel and Palestine, the author offers insights into the workings of imperial power in our increasingly chaotic planet.
