American Power And The New Mandarins
''American Power and the New Mandarins'' is a book by American academic Noam Chomsky. Largely written in 1968 and published in 1969, it was his first text focused on politics and sets out in detail his opposition to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Overview Chomsky develops the proposition, laid out in '' The Responsibility of Intellectuals'', that the American intellectual and technical class, both in universities and in government (the "new mandarins"), bear major responsibility for the atrocities being perpetrated by the United States in Vietnam. He argues that U.S. policy in Vietnam has been all too "successful." In his view, U.S. policy was to destroy the nationalist movements among the South Vietnamese peasantry rather than to defend South Vietnam from the military aggression of North Vietnam. He holds that the former was accomplished rather "successfully" at the expense of the latter. His fundamental point on the new mandarins is that we should not uncritically acc ...

Pirates And Emperors
''Pirates and Emperors, Old and New: International Terrorism in the Real World'' is a 1986 book by Noam Chomsky, titled after an observation by St. Augustine in '' City of God'', proposing that what governments coin as "terrorism" in the small simply reflects what governments utilize as "warfare" in the large. Yet, governments coerce their populations to denounce the former while embracing the latter. In the ''City of God'', St. Augustine tells the story Indeed, that was an apt and true reply which was given to Alexander the Great by a pirate who had been seized. For when that king had asked the man what he meant by keeping hostile possession of the sea, he answered with bold pride, "What do you mean by seizing the whole earth; because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, while you who does it with a great fleet are styled emperor". This story also appears in John Gower's ''Confessio Amantis'' III.2363–2438 and in a poem by François Villon François Villon (; ...
