Noam Chomsky

The U.S. government's war in Asia has been the longest and most painful involvement of U.S. military in modern warfare. For nearly a decade, Noam Chomsky urged the U.S. to confront and avoid the dangers inherent in what is now referred to as the Vietnam War. Drawing in part on his visits to Asia and in part on his extensive reading in the field, he discusses the historical, political, and economic reasons behind our first involvement in an Asian land war. He then examines what this has really meant in terms of our military strategy and its eventual effects both on the U.S. and the rest of the world. Looking back thirty years later, we still share Chomsky's concern: Will this war lead us to an ever-expanding battle against the people of the world and increasing repression at home?
