Chomsky for Beginners

Noam Chomsky, “arguably the most important intellectual alive” (The New York Times), first became famous through his work in linguistics. Chomsky’s second career, as a political/analyst/critic/activist is harder to categorize. Chomsky for Beginners presents a concise yet comprehensive introduction to this political gadfly and “media critic,” whose ideas are in deadly opposition to the kow-towing mass media.
