NOAM
CHOMSKY
A Life of Dissent
Robert F. Barsky
"For over thirty years Noam Chomsky has
been a pathbreaking linguist and a
controversial critic of American policies
and politics. Indeed, the world seems to
divide between those who revere and those who revile
Chomsky. Both groups would find valuable Robert F.
Barsky's appreciative biography; he recounts (the
known and the little known) facts of Chomksy's life,
evaluates his linguistic contribution and surveys the
main quarrels. This is an essential book not only for
Chomsky aficionados and adversaries, but for all
students of American political and intellectual life.·
