Noam Chomsky "American Power and the New Mandarins: Historical and Political Essays."
This collection of early, seminal essays helped to establish Noam Chomsky as a leading critic of US foreign policy. It mounts a scathing critique of the contradictions of the war & an indictment of the mainstream, liberal intellectuals―"the new mandarins"―who furnished what was the ideological cover for the horrors.
