Summary
An immediate national bestseller， Hegemony or Survival demonstrates how， for more than half a century the United States has been pursuing a grand imperial strategy with the aim of staking out the globe。 Our leaders have shown themselves willing-as in the Cuban missile crisis-to follow the dream of dominance no matter how high the risks。 World-renowned intellectual Noam Chomsky investigates how we came to this perilous moment and why our rulers are willing to jeopardize the future of our species。
With the striking logic that is his trademark， Chomsky tracks the U。S。 government's aggressive pursuit of "full spectrum dominance" and vividly lays out how the most recent manifestations of the politics of global control-from unilateralism to the dismantling of international agreements to state terrorism-cohere in a drive for hegemony that ultimately threatens our existence。 Lucidly written， thoroughly documented， and featuring a new afterword by the author， Hegemony or Survival is a definitive statement from one of today's most influential thinkers。

Everyone should read Chomsky at least once a year to remind themselves who is to blame for most of the shit that happens in the world

Always difficult reading a current affairs books so far after the fact， a lot of the things that Chomsky are saying seem obvious but it's worth remembering that this was written as the invasion was beginning， so there was pretty much a blanket ban in the media on his position。 If you want hard geopolitical analysis from him there's dozens better books out there， this is pretty lightweight by his standards but does give a useful introduction to the topic。 Always difficult reading a current affairs books so far after the fact， a lot of the things that Chomsky are saying seem obvious but it's worth remembering that this was written as the invasion was beginning， so there was pretty much a blanket ban in the media on his position。 If you want hard geopolitical analysis from him there's dozens better books out there， this is pretty lightweight by his standards but does give a useful introduction to the topic。 。。。more

Chomsky has always been a consistant factual source of analysis on political maters。 This book focuses on post WW2 US foreign policy and the actions made in the formation of the US empire。This book gives a detailed analysis on these matters that most people will be able to read with no need for intensive political knowledge background， however even for politically knowledgeable readers this book does not disappoint。100% recommend to those in International Relations or seeking to expand their kno Chomsky has always been a consistant factual source of analysis on political maters。 This book focuses on post WW2 US foreign policy and the actions made in the formation of the US empire。This book gives a detailed analysis on these matters that most people will be able to read with no need for intensive political knowledge background， however even for politically knowledgeable readers this book does not disappoint。100% recommend to those in International Relations or seeking to expand their knowledge on US action during the "American century"。 。。。more

Among the most harrowing books I've ever read on American morality。 Chomsky's words are devastating: he writes with a controlled fury， but his cynicism never completely eclipses the small hope he has for the future of our world。 Despite my passion for reading about U。S。 history， I was left in awe of just how much I didn't know， just how much I was able to learn from this book。 Among the most harrowing books I've ever read on American morality。 Chomsky's words are devastating: he writes with a controlled fury， but his cynicism never completely eclipses the small hope he has for the future of our world。 Despite my passion for reading about U。S。 history， I was left in awe of just how much I didn't know， just how much I was able to learn from this book。 。。。more

A bit steeped in historical details of the time it was written in， guess I wishing for more theory/broader ideas。 But I did learn a bunch of stuff abt American modern day colonialism and shady methods of securing hegemony。 This country blows 😄

Chomsky is gradually turning into Gandalf。 I have no problem with that。

A great primer into why America， on the global stage， is very， very bad。

Unfortunately， I have arrived at Chomsky at a point in life where my cynicism has long since reached its maximum capacity （thanks to the past contributions of many similar authors）。 The pangs of anger I used to feel in the previous decade have now morphed into apathetic eye-rolls or shrugs of resignation。 Nevertheless， dissident literature like this is still important to me if only to periodically reinforce my sanity; and vastly more important to society as a whole， most of whom hopefully are le Unfortunately， I have arrived at Chomsky at a point in life where my cynicism has long since reached its maximum capacity （thanks to the past contributions of many similar authors）。 The pangs of anger I used to feel in the previous decade have now morphed into apathetic eye-rolls or shrugs of resignation。 Nevertheless， dissident literature like this is still important to me if only to periodically reinforce my sanity; and vastly more important to society as a whole， most of whom hopefully are less jaded and pessimistic than I am， if there is any hope at all for the future of humanity。 。。。more

DNF。 It was written in 2004 and I think it suffers from just being out of date。 There are far too many things to be outraged about in the present without going back to the depressing Bush-era policies。

This book is full of contradictions and slanting of opinion （I can’t say facts because the author mixes his opinion universally with facts。 It focuses on how terrible the USA is while everyone one else is force to fall to our dominance。 He chastises every USA leader from Carter to Bush。I prefer a more balanced review of history。

This is an excellent book demonstrating the tactics by the US government to gain domination of the world， using politics and the military。 It goes into detail about areas of the world like Iraq， Russia， Cuba， Palestine， and Indonesia。

Mostly， I enjoyed it as it provided a perspective that I’ve never really exercised within my own world view。 But the lack of sources in some areas was a little annoying and sort of odd as he gives sources throughout the book。 He also uses a lot of hyperbole。 Either way it was an interesting read and I’m guessing a decent introduction to Chomsky。 It gave me a ton of things to research regarding America’s current and past foreign policy practices。

A needed read to understand american foreing policies， why 9/11 happened and what were the consequences in the years after that tragic attack。

17 years after it’s publication， reading this Chomsky feels somewhat humorous。 Bush and Blair were horrible， but 2020 US foreign policy and Trump ‘leadership’ makes everything previous， pale in comparison。 Reading Chomsky is great to keep the critical analysis sharp， and excellent reminders to all the faux policies and discourses we （collectively around the world） have been fed to justify US sponsored and led global terrorism。

The part on the space force is definitely the most interesting part of Kate given it’s now been reinstated。 I wonder if Elon is currently profiting from it。

This book points out in academic fashion which is really the objective of the United States。 Long story short （and it’s an old sleight of hand）， the United States comes in the name of peace and good will （democracy）。 However， what actually follows is the hegemony factor in which the country being ‘helped’ is not able to run affairs， i。e。， choose its own leadership on its own terms。 If a（ny） country in which the United States has an interest， does not comply with its covert demands， then it is s This book points out in academic fashion which is really the objective of the United States。 Long story short （and it’s an old sleight of hand）， the United States comes in the name of peace and good will （democracy）。 However， what actually follows is the hegemony factor in which the country being ‘helped’ is not able to run affairs， i。e。， choose its own leadership on its own terms。 If a（ny） country in which the United States has an interest， does not comply with its covert demands， then it is subject to violence， rhetoric that it is a terrorist state （middle east） or a puppet of the Russians （Latin America）。 tWhat’s even scary about the book is that most Americans believe the rhetoric， while we purport to be the freest country in the world。 Yet， despite our freedom， capacity and opportunity to do the research， let alone hold our leadership accountable insofar as what the priority really IS， we acquiesce to what our leadership tells us， and then wonder why: （1） the Middle East doesn’t like the United States and （2） why we have a flood of immigrants from Central America。tThe downside of this book unfortunately， is it is academically written; it does not flow to the point where the reader wants to keep up with it， let alone follow what Chomsky is saying。 A little editing to that end， would have been helpful。 Nevertheless， with the academic presentation， one cannot help but see why chillingly， the world looks to the United States in low， but still heightened fear; if the United States feels itself above World Court， NATO， and/or world conventions， then the world sees that the United States sends mixed messages surrounding its creed vs。 its （real） objectives … which leads to the crux of the book: what is more important: hegemony or survival？t 。。。more

Turn off your TV and radio， throw away your magazines and newspapers which project a fake façade of world affairs and brainwash the poplations， and read Noam Chomsky as he matter-of-factly exposes the crimes of the master International Terrorist State （USA） and its European and Middle Eastern appendages and collaborators in their mission to dominate the world ， covering a period from WWII to post 9-11。 Chomsky has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history and world affairs which he uses to expose Turn off your TV and radio， throw away your magazines and newspapers which project a fake façade of world affairs and brainwash the poplations， and read Noam Chomsky as he matter-of-factly exposes the crimes of the master International Terrorist State （USA） and its European and Middle Eastern appendages and collaborators in their mission to dominate the world ， covering a period from WWII to post 9-11。 Chomsky has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history and world affairs which he uses to expose how terrorism is incubated， nurtured， and unleashed by the master terrorist and its collaborators in parts of the world， including in some client states and against its own citizens to keep them fearful and on a short leash （playing the both sides）， depending on their political agenda and material interests。 History is a witness to the fact that hegemony inevitably leads to war， and any major conflict in this age of nuclear weapons will ensure to put survival of the human civilization in jeopardy。 This is the grim conclusion from the book unless imperialist cultures and attitudes change。 。。。more
