What Uncle Sam Really Wants is part of the Real Story Series of books. The Real Story Series is based on a simple idea -- political books don't have to be boring. Short, well-written and to the point, Real Story books are meant to be read.


Noam Chomsky is one of America's most popular speakers, electrifying standing-room-only audiences all over the country as he dissects US foreign policy with insights like these: Contrary to what virtually everyone--left or right--says, the United States achieved its major objectives in Indochina. Vietnam was demolished. There's no danger that successful development there will provide a model for other countries in the region.

At exactly the moment it invaded Panama...the Bush administration announced new high-technology sales to China [and] plans...to lift a ban on loans to Iraq...

Compared to Bush's buddies in Baghdad and Beijing, Noriega looked like Mother Teresa. Prospects are pretty dim for Eastern Europe. The West has a plan for it--they want to turn large parts of it into a new, easily exploitable part of the Third World.


Review: Highly recommended.

This is an intensely fascinating introduction into what's really going in the world. Noam Chomsky's abilities to read into the existing world order with great insight, is for anyone with a quest for the truth.
