Over three decades' worth of interviews with the linguist, political theorist, and philosopher range from 1968 and the Vietnam War to 2002 and the war in Iraq. The revised, updated second edition includes pieces that have not appeared in print elsewhere and some that have not appeared previously in English; the volume adds an index. The topics encompass science and ideology as well as the relationship between Chomsky's discoveries about language and his libertarian social theory. The interviewers are academics, journalists, students, and in some cases audience members at appearances by Chomsky. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
