Since its original publication in 1983, Chomsky's seminal tome on Mideast politics has become a classic in the fields of political science and Mideast affairs. For its tenth printing, Chomsky has written a new introduction and added a foreword by Edward Said. This new, updated edition highlights the book's lasting relevance, and should be a treasure for fans of the first edition, and an eye-opener for those new to the work. It is invaluable to anyone seeking to understand the Middle East. This is the third volume in the South End Press Classics series, which includes Strike! Revised Edition, and Detroit: I Do Mind Dying.
