"The truly powerful feed ideology to the masses like fast food while they dine on the most rarified delicacy of all: impunity."
This is a collection of articles by fine thinkers of different nationalities gathered to argue for the end of the war and tell us why it might never stop!

This book will help you understand how the war against Afghanistan and Iraq affected the whole world and why it will not stop soon! My favorite article is Ms. Klein's "Building a booming economy based on war with no end ".Also, please approach this work with an open mind; if we don't try to understand, we will never move away from the status quo!

Try to understand based on facts how Israel's economy bloomed after 9/11, and how Israel became the go-to country for anti-terrorism technology. Learn how Israeli firms have turned the global obsession with security into booming subsector of the economy! Please try to understand why "freedom of speech, like democracy, was strangled at birth" in Iraq! And maybe you will figure out why most Iraqis approve of attacks on US-led forces!

Your illusions may fade as quickly as a shooting star after reading this book. Good luck facing the truth!

BUSH WILL BE PROVEN RIGHT
Despite all of the anti war rhetoric in this book, however high end the prose or arguments, the great moments in history are often missed by those in the present.I remain convinced as to other historians that we will look back on Iraq & Afghanistan as the war that drained the America, sucking its will to act from its people but also as that Churchilian moment at which a people broken on the rocks of history did the right thing and for which the rest of the world will be knowingly or unknowingly obliged. This is one of those moments folks and bury your head in the sand or diga little deeper and you will see it.Islami fundamentalism will be buried or you and yours will be wearing head scarves, bowing to Allah and having your daughters treated as breeding stock at best.
(I know that is supposedly not what the Muslim faith stands for but it is what it is, it is what the fundamentalists are fighting for and it is what moderate muslims, sadly, have given up resisting.)

We need peace, justice, equality and civil liberties
This book contains 9 texts by 9 different authors and one excellent anti-war strip by Joe Sacco. All the texts treat different aspects of power (war) relations in our modern world.

Power, free markets, democracy
For A. Roy, power is the crucial political, economic and social factor in human affairs.
Private corporations use their power through the Free Market doctrine to undermine democracy: `Today Corporate Globalization needs an international Confederation of corrupt and authoritarian governments in poor countries. It needs a press that only pretends to be free. It needs courts that pretend to dispense justice. It needs nuclear bombs, standing armies, sterner immigration laws to make sure that it is only money, goods, patents and services that are globalized.'

War
N. Klein lambastes the war and disaster profiteers.

War on Terror
For J. LeBlanc and P. Bennis, the War on Terror is a smokescreen for US military aggression in order to gain full spectrum world dominance. The weapons of mass destruction are in the US, not elsewhere.
For T. Nguyen, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni goes after colleges and universities which are described as working against the interests of Western civilization because they are weak in the War on Terror.

War in Iraq
H. Zangara unveils the resistance of the majority of the Iraqi people against the US occupation and its puppet regime. They see control of Iraqi oil as the only reason for this occupation. She draws our attention to the systematic (!) murder of academics, journalists and clerics, the gagging of the media and the lack of freedom of speech in Iraq. But the Iraqi people, of whom 650,000 died (the equivalent of 7 million US citizens), continues to resist through the cultural sector.
L. German remembers the fact that the war created 4 million Iraqi refugees.
The `September 11th Families' stress rightly that the brutality of Saddam Hussein's regime does not justify the brutality, death and destruction visited upon Iraq and its citizens.

The Palestine question
For A. Soueif, as long as `ordinary citizens are not allowed to live their daily life in a human way, the influence of the world's only superpower will be proved to be irredeemably malign.'

This book with its sometimes belligerent attacks on current international policies, is a must read for all those interested in the world we live in.

War with No End
It is a great and very easybook to read. I respect the Authors and what they have written.

Useful collection from the anti-war movement
This useful anthology gives some idea of the vast range and depth of the US and British anti-war movements. It explores the impact of the `war on terror' from Palestine to Iraq, and looks at the US and British states' attacks on civil liberties and on public opinion.

In her excellent contribution, Arundhati Roy claims that capitalism undermines not national sovereignty, but democracy: in fact it undermines both. She rightly links the `war on terror' to the economic system that drives it, and points out that capitalism's international bodies, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the World Trade Organisation are all undemocratic, anti-national and secretive.

The best-researched piece is by Naomi Klein, author of No Logo and The Shock Doctrine. She calls our current system `disaster capitalism'. She observes that after 9/11, Israel increased its military spending by 10%, financed by social services cuts. This increase funded 350 new hi-tec firms specialising in security, surveillance and weapons: one firm is revealingly called `Instinctive Shooting International'. Israel now holds six counter-terrorism conferences a year, and Forbes Magazine calls it `the go-to country for anti-terrorism technologies'.

Similarly, in the USA the Spade Defense Index, for defence, security and aerospace stocks, has risen by 15% every year since 9/11. Firms profit from the destruction caused by the wars that their states begin, then they profit again from contracts for rebuilding, then profit again by not actually rebuilding anything. Klein has rediscovered Lenin's insight that "war is terrible - and terribly profitable."

Product Description
Chomsky's major works now reissued by The New Press.

An essential record of Chomsky's political and social thought as it was sharpened during the upheavals in domestic and international affairs of the early 1970s, For Reasons of State includes articles on the war in Vietnam and the "wider war" in Laos and Cambodia, an extensive dissection of the Pentagon Papers, reflections on the role of force in international affairs, essays on civil disobedience and the use of the university, and a now-classic introduction to anarchism. These essays reveal very different facets of Chomsky's power as a thinker, from his uncanny ability to join abstract philosophical considerations with the concrete political realities of his time, to his singular capacity to mount withering, fact-based critiques of American foreign policy. Following the recent release of American Power and the New Mandarins, For Reasons of State is a major addition to the intellectual history of the Vietnam era. ... Read more

A Seminal Work With Relevant Lessons
Those wishing to understand the hijinks that led to the US invasion of Iraq can do no better in reviewing this seminal "nostalgia" piece on American war planning.Overcoming the "Vietnam syndrome" led right back to the quagmire, proof that those in power do not learn from history because they choose to ignore it.

The inaccurate ramblings of one reviewer - holding Chomsky somehow accountable for the Khmer Rouge coming to power after this collection of essays was published - demonstrate how atrocity reportage from postwar Indochina was consciously exploited to retroactively justify the war.Reading this review of the Pentagon Papers - over half the book - demonstrate that whatever befell the region later was established in Washington by men who cared not one bit for the nations and people they condemned to disaster.

100% tripe
Really a total mis-mash of bewildering essays from the mid 70s this collection mirrors the typical anti-Americanism of the era.The essays are called `bold' but the reality is that disagreeing with the Vietnam war isn't exactly revolutionary.No original thought is found within these essays instead they are the typical `America is evil' mentality.One essay in particular focuses on the war in Laos and Cambodia but it ignores the Vietnamese invasions of these countries and the destabilizing influence that Vietnamese troops caused as they rampaged through the rice fields of Cambodia in order to invade South Vietnam.The reality is that these essays completely ignore and in fact deny the truth about Pol Pots regime in Cambodia, a communist regime that killed 25% of the country and especially murdered minority groups and Muslims.These glaring anti-factuals make this collection hard to accept and even harder to digest.Fans of the authors previous work will be delighted, while most will be unhappy.

A seminal work on Vietnam, anarchism, and human nature
In 1973, Noam Chomsky released this collection of expanded articles and new material. This was his second political book, published at the height of Vietnam war protests. The book begins with an in-depth examination of the Pentagon Papers. This confidential history of US policy toward Vietnam was made public in the late 1960s, leading to a lawsuit by the US government against the New York Times and other newspapers. The newspapers won (when midwestern papers started printing the confidential history, making the lawsuit irrelevant) and everyone was finally able to see what the Pentagon had been up to since the 1950s.

It's not a pretty picture. Chomsky quotes the Papers relentlessly, citing multiple versions of it. He lets the generals and politicians speak for themselves, revealing their real commitments, showing how they prevented democracy from breaking out in Vietnam in 1954. From there, he shows how the war expanded to Laos and Cambodia. The footnotes for these chapters are massive, citing hundreds of reliable sources. This section of the book is one of the best examinations of the Vietnam war you'll ever read, right up there with Gabriel Kolko's "Anatomy of a War" and Marilyn Young's "The Vietnam Wars."

Then Chomsky shifts gears. He writes a brief but powerful essay on war resistance and the role of universities as subversive institutions. These chapters show Chomsky's commitment to peaceful, intelligent, democratic protest --- and his honesty about its limitations.

The final chapters are about behaviorism, anarchism, and human nature. Although these topics are quite a change from the Vietnam war material at the beginning, they are no less impressive. Chomsky's review of BF Skinner's behaviorism completely demolishes the concept. This essay single-handedly brought the field to a halt in 1972. (Skinner responded once, failing to counter Chomsky's arguments, and behaviorism never recovered.) He even takes time to explain, in a single footnote, why Richard Herrnstein's study of IQ is useless (which made "The Bell Curve" irrelevant twenty years before it was written). Chomsky's notes on anarchism and his reflections on the mystery of human nature describe his underlying attitude about people and their relation to the state.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants an education on Vietnam or Noam Chomsky's political work. The lies of Vietnam --- and the illegitimate authority of the state --- continue today in new forms. This book will inspire you to activism, and to learn more.

Chosky at most passionate
"For reasons of state" and "American power"; both written at the height of the vietnam war are chomsky at his most passionate. The works are obvoiusly written when the hopes of real change in the power structures of society seemed like a real possiblity. The condemnations of US policy are fast and furiuos as Chomsky turns scrutizing State dept papers into calls to action. There is no punches pulled here, hopeful thoughts of future stuctures of human freedom are disscussed in chapters with titles such as "notes on anarchism."
Agree with him or not this is one of the few political books that can actually raise your heart rate. ... Read more

Roy speaks, I listen
Just a great great writer...Truly a joy to listen to on this CD, as well...This particular piece is pretty inspirational as it deconstructs so many myths that a Bush era has shoved down the throats of the world.

A CD like this should be a mandatory course requirement for young minds the world over to teach them to learn to think for themselves and, most importantly, question things rather than follow the rest of the sheep.

An open and honest comentary on present day world !!
This is the kind of rhetoric I miss in US magazines and newspapers. I don't even expect to see anything like this on TV. No body comes close. She has a fantastic global perspective. I am amazed that Ms. Roy developed a wonderful philosophy in India where majority folks are just like me "simple minded and too busy with day to day issues to bother about anything else".

provacative.
Arundhati is brilliant.Her perspective on U.S.global hegemony is dead-on.The enormous misinformation and deliberate falsifying of American activities all over the world is deconstructed brick by brick.A rare and clear and true voice in the Western wilderness.Get this CD and listen closely.There is much to learn.

Succinct Narrative on Nationalim/Imperialism in the 20th Century
This Audio CD is a charming introduction to those unfamiliar to Ms Roy like myself. I wish the audio cd was longer but I think it's a very powerful and intriguing listen for people who are interested in a provocative analysis of industrialized nations. The other thing which interested me was her thoughts on India and its current state of affairs and she touched upon them as well. Ms Roy speaks poetically and uses words very carefully and appropriately. I recommend this CD to anyone regardless of the person's ideology. ... Read more

Product Description
Contemporary, postcolonial fiction demands an ethicsof reading. An ethical reading involves more thanthe narrow reading permitted by the critics whoespouse a politics of identity. To read ethicallymeans to consider a variety of divergentperspectives as the reader engages with, and oftenwrestles with, the text. Reading ethicallychallenges the reader to make reading an act ofresistance. Therefore, because of such demands,traditional literary criticism can be too confining.In studying Morrison, El Saadawi and Roy, andreading them ethically, Dr. Kathleen Kreminsproposes a fresh and innovative perspective onliterary criticism and theory. By relying on art andfilm critics, cultural, political and social criticsas well as literary critics who have rejected theanalytical traditions of the last thirty years, Dr.Kremins argues that an ethical reading cannot existin isolation; for a reading to be ethical, the textmust be informed by and engaged with other texts, aswell as history and other art forms. Unlike TerryEagleton who claims that literary theory is dead,Kremins asserts that literary theory must be re- visioned for a new century and world. ... Read more

Translation requires a certain experience, acertain education and a substantial amount oftalent. Translators must invest a considerableamount of time and skill to create a good andvaluable translation. This work provides ananalysis of the creative and normalizingstrategies of the Czech and Slovak translationsof Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things. Itstudies and compares the normalizing and creativestrategies of the two translators: MichaelaLauschmannová and Veronika Redererová.
