In The Anti Chomsky Reader, editors Peter Collier and David Horowitz have assembled a set of essays that analyze Chomsky’s intellectual career and the evolution of his anti-Americanism. The essays in this provocative book focus on subjects such as Chomsky’s bizarre involvement with Holocaust revisionism, his apologies for Khmer Rouge tyrant Pol Pot, and his claim that America’s policies in Latin America in the 1980s were comparable to Nazism. Scholar Paul Bogdanor writes about Chomsky’s hatred of Israel. Ronald Radosh and David Horowitz discuss his gloating reaction to the September 11 attack. Linguists Paul Postal and Robert Levine reevaluate Chomsky’s linguistics and find the same qualities there that others see in his politics: “a deep contempt for the truth, descents into incoherence, and verbal abuse of those who disagree with him.” The Anti Chomsky Reader presents a fascinating composite portrait of a man who arguably is our most influential public intellectual.

In Putin’s Master Plan, Doug Schoen warned that the Russian president had a grand vision to expand his country’s influence around the world, while destabilizing the Western Alliance and delegitimizing the very principles of free societies—especially the political model of democracy’s exemplar, the United States. In Putin on the March, Schoen brings the story up to date, warning that Putin’s mission is no abstraction but rather an active, ongoing campaign, and one that the Russian president has pursued with far more successes than setbacks.
In this first post-9/11 account of the career of the man who established himself as “America’s Mayor” in the dark days after America was attacked, Fred Siegel shows how Rudy Giuliani’s successes in New York–restoring law and order, cutting taxes and radically reducing the welfare rolls–demonstrated that Gotham was indeed “governable” (a matter of doubt until his election) and that our major cities might again become vibrant and dynamic places to live after thirty years of middle-class flight.

Well known as a political commentator and the author of sixteen novels, William F. Buckley Jr. was also a superb chronicler of travel.
