- Comments: The spine of a book is often the first to show signs of aging and frequent use, bearing the weight of repeated opening and closing. This wear might manifest as creases, cracks, or even partial detachment, but it also signifies that the book has been well-loved and thoroughly read. Such physical characteristics add a layer of history and character to the book, distinguishing it from pristine, untouched copies.

AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"This latest philippic from Noam Chomsky sets out to overturn every belief about their country Americans hold dear....Much of this will be familiar to veteran Chomsky readers, but in this book he supplies a new twist. What, he asks, is a failed state? It is one that fails 'to provide security for the population, to guarantee rights at home or abroad, or to maintain functioning (not merely formal) democratic institutions.' .On that definition, Chomsky argues, America is a failed state. This sounds like a hyperbolic charge, ludicrously overblown--but he goes far toward substantiating it....It's hard to imagine any American reading this book and not seeing his country in a new, and deeply troubling, light."Chomsky, Noam is the author of 'Failed States The Abuse of Power and The Assault on Democracy', published 2006 under ISBN 9780805079128 and ISBN 0805079122.
