Is he right?
The first thing I asked Google about after reading this book was: "Is Noam Chomsky right?". I found what I hoped for. Lots of critical articles and reviews. I wanted them because I was kinda scared of living here (planet Earth) after what I had read, assuming that it was true, of course. Most of the critique was reasonably well explained, but It didn't actually make things any better. I felt so confused because I couldn't make out what was true and what wasn't... Then I just returned to my old position: people are people and we all do horrible things, and people in USA don't possess inborn instincts about destroying smaller nations to secure the interests of country's investors. I still recommend reading it, because it has a lot of facts that let you see the world clearer. It shows how it functions, on the level of countries. Just don't get carried away by the narrative, the truth is always somewhere in the middle.
