On Western Terrorism: From Hiroshima to Drone Warfare

Admired by some, condemned by others, and feared by all—the military might of the West is undeniably colossal. In On Western Terrorism,
world-renowned intellectual Noam Chomsky discusses Western power and
propaganda with filmmaker and investigative journalist Andre Vltchek. It
offers the perfect introduction to Chomsky’s significant political
thought and provides an accessible approach for anyone who wishes to
better understand the West’s fraught role in the world.

Beginning with stories of the New York newsstand where Chomsky started
his political education as a teenager, the discussion broadens out to
encompass colonialism, imperial control, propaganda, the Arab Spring,
and drone warfare. Chomsky and Vltchek offer a powerful critique of the
legacy of colonialism, touching upon many countries including Syria,
Nicaragua, Cuba, China, Chile, and Turkey.

Updated with a fresh design and a new foreword by Chomsky, On Western Terrorism remains
an influential and powerful critique of the West’s role in the world,
inspiring all who read it to think independently and critically.
