“Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy” is a book written by Noam Chomsky, an American linguist and political commentator. The book is a critique of U.S foreign policy, particularly in the post-9/11 era. Chomsky argues that the U.S has repeatedly abused its power, violating international law and undermining democratic processes in other countries, with devastating consequences for people around the world. He argues that the U.S’s actions in the Middle East and elsewhere have contributed to widespread violence, instability, and human suffering. The book also critiques the media’s role in shaping public perceptions of U.S foreign policy and the way that it often serves as a mouthpiece for government propaganda. In “Failed States,” Chomsky presents a compelling case against U.S imperialism and the dangers of unchecked power.
