How are the dynamics of the Israel-Palestinian conflict changing today? What are the responsibilities of the United States and Europe, especially in a post 9-11 era? How do we define terror? How do misperceptions define current policy and how can we look beyond them to find more viable solutions? These are among the many current and divisive questions Noam Chomsky takes up in his newest book, Middle East Illusions.This latest work includes chapters written by Chomsky just before the 2000 Intifada and up through October 2002. As 9-11 and the US campaign against Iraq have added new pressures to longstanding conflicts, Chomskys voice should be heard now more than ever. The book also includes the full text of Chomskys earlier release, Peace in the Middle East?: Reflections on Justice and Nationhood, written during the crucial period spanning the Six-Day and 1973 wars, which continue to define and deeply influence events today.

Sometimes described as "the father of modern linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy, and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He has spent more than half a century at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he is Institute Professor Emeritus, and is the author of over 100 books on topics such as linguistics, war, politics, and mass media. Ideologically, he aligns with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism.
