Privilege, he argues, brings with it the responsibility to tell the truth and expose lies, but our intellectual culture only pays lip service to this ideal. The essay has been described as the single most influential piece of anti-war literature of the Vietnam war period. Since then, Chomsky has continued to equip a growing international audience with the facts and arguments needed to understandand changeour world. According to the New York Times, Chomsky may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet today. This book revisits The Responsibility of Intellectuals half a century later. It includes six new essays written to celebrate Chomskys famous intervention and explore its relevance in todays world. Nicholas Allott, Chris Knight, Milan Rai, and Neil Smith have studied and written about Chomskys thought for many years, while Craig Murray and Jackie Walker describe the personal price they have paid for speaking out. Th concludes with Chomskys recollections of the background to the original publication of his essay, followed by extensive commentary from him on its fiftieth anniversary.
