La retirada

Not since the last US troops left Vietnam have we been faced with such a sudden vacuum in our foreign policy, not only of authority, but also of explanations about what has happened and what the future holds. Few analysts are better equipped to tackle this moment than Noam Chomsky and Vijay Prashad, intellectuals and critics whose work spans generations and continents. Chomsky and Prashad interrogate the key turning points in America's downward spiral: from the disastrous war in Iraq to the failed intervention in Libya and the descent into chaos in Afghanistan. As the last moments of American power in Afghanistan fade, this crucial book argues that we must not look away from the wreckage and that we need, above all, an unsentimental vision of the new world we must build together.
