The Culture of Terrorism Chomsky, Noam Publisher:  Black Rose Books, Montreal, Canada Year Published:  1988   Pages:  270pp   ISBN:  0-921689-28-4 Resource Type:  Book Chomsky argues that the United States elites are dedicated to the rule of force, and that their commitment to violence and lawlessness has to be masked by an ideological system which attempts to control and limit the domestic damage done when the mask occasionally slips. Abstract:  The Culture of Terrorism is based on the thesis that "the United States elites are dedicated to the rule of force, and that their commitment to violence and lawlessness has to be masked by an ideological system which attempts to control and limit the domestic damage done when the mask occasionally slips." The book focuses on the dedication of the United States to the rule of force, taking the Nicaragua-Iran scandals of 1986 as a major example from which important lessons should be learned. It is divided into three parts, "The Scandals of 1986," "Further Successes of the Reagan Administration," and "The Current Agenda," with the first part covering more than half of the book. The Culture of Terrorism is a thorough look into the Iran-Contra scandals, their impact and their significance for the world today.
