Excellent follow up by Chomsky to the Washington Consensus David Bliven Excellent follow up by Chomsky to the Washington Consensus. Critical to understand how foreign policy worked in the Vietnam/Cambodia days, as history does repeat itself (I.e., so long as we still have capitalism, we will continue to have imperialist wars).. azov@shreve.net said Cuts through official propaganda. Nowhere does the book praise "Stalinism." The issue is simply that of a colonial power smashing a national movement. In the 19th Century the prevailing ideollogy might have been Christiandom vs. Islam; by the 1960's it was the "Free World" vs. "Godless Communism." The essential power relatons of empire remain the same. To criticise the larger power and its bullying tactics is not to whitewash the other side; but the normal human reaction among the unbrainwashed is to take the side of the little guy fighting for his life over the big fat aggressor.. Octavio Solaris said Beware Imperialist Running Dogs!. A book that begs us to call into serious question the nature of the society in which we, live. Using examples from postwar Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, it presents the broader issue, of "how our system really works": Government, media, and such.
Especially comprehensive in its treatment of Cambodia, it provides a trenchant—and healthy—critique of news media coverage that has usually been as tendencious as the dealing with the early years of US military intervention in Indochina."—George Kahin, Subversion as Foreign Policy: The Secret Eisenhower and Dulles Debacle in Indonesia"By revealing to us the true history of postwar Indochina developments, Chomsky and Herman have given us an essential weapon in the ongoing struggle against willed historical amnesia."—Marilyn Young, President of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations
With a new preface by the authors, this companion book to The Washington Connection and Third World Fascism, dissects the aftermath of the war in Southeast Asia, the refugee problem, the Vietnam/Cambodia conflict and the Pol Pot regime.
