Review Quotes

"Chomsky is a global phenomenon . . . perhaps the most widely read voice on foreign policy on the planet." --New York Times Book Review
"Considering that Chomsky's relevance has only grown with time, and that his positions prove less radical and more prescient as years pass, the timing of his new book release, The Masters of Mankind, a retrospective of lectures and essays stretching from 1969 to 2013, is perfect... There is more than enough profound, powerful material in this collection to impress any readers unfamiliar with Chomsky's intellectual agility." --The Daily Beast
"There is no living political writer who has more radically changed how more people think in more parts of the world about political issues." --Glenn Greenwald
