TWO NEW BOOKS FROM SEVEN STORIES PRESS

Seven Stories Press has just published 9-11 by Noam Chomsky, and 10 Reasons to Abolish the IMF and World Bank, by Kevin Danaher.

In 9-11 Chomsky examines the causes of the September 11th catastrophe, the historical precedents for it and the possible outcomes. Chomsky says the atrocities of 9-11 “are something quite new in world affairs…. For the first time, the guns have been directed the other way.” He says there has been “a devastating blow” to Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, and argues for an international rule of law. Existing bodies such as the United Nations and World Court must be given credence and then relied upon. “React with extreme violence,” he writes, “and expect to escalate the cycle of violence, leading to still further atrocities such as the one that is inciting the call for revenge.” Original Trade Paperback, $8.95, 128 pages, ISBN:1-58322-489-0; eBook available in Microsoft Reader or Adobe eBook; coming soon for PalmOS $4.20.
