Description
Two of our most celebrated intellectuals grapple with the uncertain aftermath of the American collapse in Afghanistanâ?oThrough the structure of a deeply engaging conversation between two of our most important contemporary public intellectuals, we are urged to defy the inattention of the media to the disastrous damage inflicted in Afghanistan on life, land, and resources in the aftermath of the U.S. withdrawal and the connections to the equally avoidable and unnecessary wars on Iraq and Libya.â??â?"from the foreword by Angela Y. DavisNot since the last American troops left Vietnam have we faced such a sudden vacuum in our foreign policyâ?"not only of authority, but also of explanations of what happened, and what the future holds. Few analysts are better poised to address this moment than Noam Chomsky and Vijay Prashad, intellectuals and critics whose work spans generations and continents. Called â?othe most widely read voice on foreign policy on the planetâ?? by the New York Times Book Review, Noam Chomsky is the guiding light of dissidents around the world. In The Withdrawal, Chomsky joins with noted scholar Vijay Prashadâ?"who â?ohelps to uncover the shining worlds hidden under official history and dominant mediaâ?? (Eduardo Galeano)â?"to get at the roots of this unprecedented time of peril and change. Chomsky and Prashad interrogate key inflection points in Americaâ?Ts downward spiral: from the disastrous Iraq War to the failed Libyan intervention to the descent into chaos in Afghanistan. As the final moments of American power in Afghanistan fade from view, this crucial book argues that we must not take our eyes off the wreckageâ?"and that we need, above all, an unsentimental view of the new world we must build together.
