Interventions, by Noam Chomsky, is getting new press after the Pentagon banned the book from Guantanamo Bay's prison catalogue. The Miami Herald broke the storyplot on October 11, 2009, and experiences implemented in The Washington Separate, the Boston Herald, and other stores. Democracy Now! picked up the storyplot on October 13: "Published in 2007, Interventions compiles some Chomsky's columns. The Pentagon has refused to explain why the book has been barred." Interventions is Noam Chomsky at his best. Not since his all-time best-selling subject, 9/11, published in the wild Mass media series in 2001, have visitors and listeners got a timely, short, affordable Chomsky. Unlike 9/11, Interventions is a writerly work - some more than 30 tightly argued essays targeted at various aspects of U.S. electricity and politics in the post-9/11 world. While critical of U.S. armed service interventions around the world, each piece in the book is in itself an intellectual intervention aimed at nurturing general public ire about the consequences of U.S. use of electricity at home and in another country. Interventions' subjects period from 9/11 and the Iraq battle to Social Security and Intelligent Design, South America and Asia, the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the election of Hamas, Hurricane Katrina, and the U.S. idea of "just battle". Corresponding to BusinessWeek, "With relentless reasoning, Chomsky bids us to listen closely to what our leaders tell us - and discern what they are leaving out.... Trust him or not, we lose out by not tuning in." Chomsky's Interventions delivers what visitors and listeners want: an accessible group of skeleton keys for checking an array of global issues dominating today's politics scenery. Noam Chomsky is the critically acclaimed author of many catalogs, including Hegemony or Success, Imperial Ambitions, Failed State governments, Production Consent, and Mass media Control.
