The Myth of American idealism and foreign policy

Book •
In 'The Myth of American Idealism', Noam Chomsky and Nathan J. Robinson expose the stark realities behind America's global interventions, dismantling the façade of benevolent intentions.

Through meticulous analysis, they reveal a consistent pattern of US foreign policy driven by economic and strategic interests, often at the expense of human rights and democracy.

They argue that the projection of American values is frequently a guise for pursuing geopolitical dominance and maintaining a global capitalist order.

The book challenges the notion of American exceptionalism, urging readers to critically examine the historical record and question the narratives that justify interventionism.

By unveiling the true motives behind US actions, Chomsky and Robinson call for a more ethical and responsible approach to foreign policy.
