After 9/11 everything we were selling was an analysis of the Middle East. I've ordered 100 copies of Chomsky's new one, Middle East Illusions.

It's impossible not to agree with him most of the time, and I've yet to find a book of his that doesn't sell.

The Bookseller

Acting as a deliberately provocative American conscience, Chomsky argues that Israel behaves like a colonial power in the Occupied Territories. His indictments of casual American hypocrisy and abuse of power are important, and his thesis that Israel's actions, far from enhancing its security, compromise it by polarizing opinion both within Israel and beyond is reasonable.

Sunday Times

This is a lucid, well-documented, first-class book that should be in every library.

Day By Day

In Middle East Illusions, Noam Chomsky proposes an alternative resolution to the conflict between Israel and Palestine and questions the territory's strategic and economic importance to the industrial powers, most notably the United States.

Z Magazine

An intriguing, scholarly analysis of fateful errors and lasting impacts.
