OverviewIn 911, published in November 2001 and arguably the single most influential post-9/11 book, internationally renowned thinker Noam Chomsky bridged the information gap around the World Trade Center attacks, cutting through the tangle of political opportunism, expedient patriotism, and general conformity that choked off American discourse in the months immediately following. Chomsky placed the attacks in context, marshaling his deep and nuanced knowledge of American foreign policy to trace the history of American political aggression in the Middle East and throughout Latin America as well as in Indonesia, in Afghanistan, in India and Pakistan at the same time warning against America's increasing reliance on military rhetoric and violence in its response to the attacks, and making the critical point that the mainstream media and public intellectuals were failing to make: any escalation of violence as a response to violence will inevitably lead to further, and bloodier, attacks on innocents in America and around the world. Noam Chomsky is the recipient of the 2011 Sydney Peace Prize. In this interview he talks about his childhood, his education and his passions: linguistics, science, as well as American foreign and domestic politics. The Green Left on why Noam Chomsky won the 2011 Sydney Peace Prize.
