Reviews
"9-11 was practically the only counter-narrative out there at a time when questions tended to be drowned out by a chorus, led by the entire United States Congress, of 'God Bless America.' . . . it is possible that, if the United States goes the way of nineteenth-century Britain, Chomsky's interpretation will be the standard among historians a hundred years from now." --New Yorker "A badly needed corrective to news coverage of the present-day 'war on terrorism.'" --Norman Solomon, San Francisco Chronicle Review "Every word of 9-11 is more relevant than ever." --Amnesty International Journal (Ireland), "9-11 was practically the only counter-narrative out there at a time when questions tended to be drowned out by a chorus, led by the entire United States Congress, of 'God Bless America.' . . . it is possible that, if the United States goes the way of nineteenth-century Britain, Chomsky's interpretation will be the standard among historians a hundred years from now." --New Yorker "A badly needed corrective to news coverage of the present-day 'war on terrorism.'" --Norman Solomon, San Francisco Chronicle Review "Every word of 9-11 is more relevant than ever." --Amnesty International Journal (Ireland) "Chomsky laments that the U.S. government largely dismissed these human rights problems in its quest to "secure our interests." The invasion of Afghanistan was far from the first time NATO overran unstable civilian populations in the search for terrorists (Chomsky offers several examples in the book) and, as we now know, it was not the last." --Foreign Policy in Focus

Synopsis
In 9-11, published in November 2001 and arguably the single most influential post 9-11 book, internationally renowned thinker Noam Chomsky bridged the information gap around the World Trade Center attacks, cutting through the tangle of political opportunism, expedient patriotism, and general conformity that choked off American discourse in the months immediately following. Chomsky placed the attacks in context, marshaling his deep and nuanced knowledge of American foreign policy to trace the history of American political aggression--in the Middle East and throughout Latin America as well as in Indonesia, in Afghanistan, in India and Pakistan--at the same time warning against America's increasing reliance on military rhetoric and violence in its response to the attacks, and making the critical point that the mainstream media and public intellectuals were failing to make: any escalation of violence as a response to violence will inevitably lead to further, and bloodier, attacks on innocents in America and around the world. This new edition of 9-11, published on the tenth anniversary of the attacks and featuring a new preface by Chomsky, reminds us that today, just as much as ten years ago, information and clarity remain our most valuable tools in the struggle to prevent future violence against the innocent, both at home and abroad., In arguably the most influential post 9-11 book, Chomsky bridges the information gap around the attacks, untangling political opportunism, patriotism and general conformity. Chomsky places the attacks in context, marshalling his deep and nuanced knowledge of foreign policy to trace the history of American aggression in the Middle East and around the world. He also warns against the increasing reliance on military rhetoric and violence in response to the attacks, making the often ignored point that violent response will only ignite further attacks.
