Not since the last American troops left Vietnam have we faced such a sudden vacuum in our foreign policy - not only of authority, but also of explanations of what happened, and what the future holds. In The Withdrawal, Noam Chomsky joins noted scholar Vijay Prashad to get at the roots of this unprecedented time of peril and change. Chomsky and Prashad interrogate key inflection points in America's downward spiral: from the disastrous Iraq War to the failed Libyan intervention to the descent into chaos in Afghanistan. As the final moments of American power in Afghanistan fade from view, this crucial book argues that we must not take our eyes off the wreckage - and that we need, above all, an unsentimental view of the new world we must build together.
