This new, fully updated edition of Chomsky's classic overview of terrorism examines the role of the U.S. in the Middle East and reveals how the media is used to manipulate public opinion regarding what constitutes `terrorism`.
With some new chapters as well as the original sections on Iran and the bombing of Libya, this book is an outstanding account of state terrorism by the world's leading critic of American imperialism.
New chapters cover the second Palestinian `Intifada` - or stone-throwing - that began in October 2000, a detailed account of the impact of September 11 on U.S. policy in the Middle East, and a deconstruction of the narratives and perceptions of terrorism from that day onward.
