Towards a New Cold War: U. S. Foreign Policy from Vietnam to Reagan Book

After hearing Chomsky on my NPR station, KUOW, one afternoon, I went to a used bookstore and bought everything they had by him. This was one of the books. When reading Noam many things seem to make more sense until you start thinking about how his analyses compare with those of the pundits in the mainstream media. You can either think he's crazy, or you can believe that the government and media are working together to keep the public discourse from the real issues. I tend to believe Noam, but then I have fleeting moments where I wonder about my own sanity too. This book focuses a great deal on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which doesn't seem to have changed much since 1982. The discussions of other topics in the book have since become obsolete, but are still full of historical insight.
