The Umbrella of U.S. Power: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Contradictions of US Policy
Noam Chomsky
A Learned Analysis Of The U.S.‘s Betrayals And Perversions Of Its Own Human Rights Policy; Chomsky observes the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights while chronicling how the foreign policy of the US too often differs from its rhetoric. Analysing the contradictions of US power while illustrating the real progress won by sustained popular struggle, Chomsky cuts through official political language to examine how the US not only violates the Universal Declaration, but at times uses it as a weapon to wield against an ever-changing set of enemies. Especially pertinent now as the war against terrorism wages on against the Axis of Evil , this completely revised and updated edition sheds new light on the current world order.
