Chomsky's indictment is sweeping and damning. He argues that the United States has become a "rogue superpower" that no longer respects international law or the rights of other nations. He cites numerous examples of American aggression, from the Vietnam War to the invasion of Iraq, showing how the United States has used its power to bully and intimidate other countries.

Chomsky also argues that the United States has abandoned its commitment to democracy at home. He points to the growing concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few, the erosion of civil liberties, and the suppression of dissent. He argues that the United States is no longer a democracy, but a plutocracy, where the rich and powerful rule.

Chomsky's book is a powerful and disturbing indictment of American foreign policy. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the true nature of American power.
