In this series of talks originally given in memory of Bertrand Russell in 1971, Chomsky applies empirical principles of human understanding to then-current issues, including the war in Indochina, the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and Richard Nixon's foreign policies.

"A subtle and scrupulous look at some of the most interesting work done in our time on language and mind" —George Steiner, The New York Times Book Review
