About this listen

Admired by some, condemned by others, and feared by all - the military might of the West is undeniably colossal. In On Western Terrorism, world-renowned intellectual Noam Chomsky discusses Western power and propaganda with filmmaker and investigative journalist Andre Vltchek. It offers the perfect introduction to Chomsky’s significant political thought and provides an accessible approach for anyone who wishes to better understand the West’s fraught role in the world.

Beginning with stories of the New York newsstand where Chomsky started his political education as a teenager, the discussion broadens out to encompass colonialism, imperial control, propaganda, the Arab Spring, and drone warfare. Chomsky and Vltchek offer a powerful critique of the legacy of colonialism, touching upon many countries including Syria, Nicaragua, Cuba, China, Chile, and Turkey.

Updated with a new foreword by Chomsky, On Western Terrorism remains an influential and powerful critique of the West’s role in the world, inspiring all who listen to it to think independently and critically.

We'll produced.

I enjoyed the duality of presenting each speaker's thoughts in a sequential manner.
I had not read any works of Chomsky's compatriot but I'll be exploring more now.

Too many unsupported claims by Andrea Vltchek

Prof Naom Chomsky is far more subjective in his analysis. Unfortunately Andrea Vltchek kept interrupting him! rendering the book more as Vltchek's opinions rather than Chomsky's analysis. I think they need to swap the authors order.
