Editorial Reviews
Product Description
In The Umbrella of U.S. Power, Chomsky refers to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a "Path to a better world," while chronicling how far off the trail the United States often is with respect to actual political practice and conduct. Analyzing the contradictions of U.S. power while illustrating the real progress won by sustained popular struggle, Chomsky cuts through official political rhetoric to examine how the U.S. not only violates the Universal Declaration, but at times uses it as a weapon to wield against an ever-changing set of enemies.
