New book by Chomsky on 9-11

\"9-11\" contains interviews conducted with Chomsky by a variety of

interviewers during the first month following the attacks of 9-11. The

interviews were conducted largely via email, many with foreign journalists

who speak and write English as a second language.

Noam Chomsky comments on the the new war on terrorism, U.S. foreign policy,

Osama bin Laden, U.S. involvement with Afghanistan, and the long-term

implications of America's military attacks abroad. Based on a composite of

interviews conducted the 9-11 attacks on the Pentagon and World Trace

Center, Chomsky's impeccable knowledge of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle

East and South Asia sheds light on the rapidly shifting balance of world

power. Speaking out against responding to violence with violence, Chomsky

hopes that \"an aroused public within the more free and democratic societies

can direct policies towards a much more humane and honorable course.\"
