Year 501

The Conquest Continues

Noam Chomsky

2nd printing

Noam Chomsky's Year 501 is a powerful and comprehensive discussion of the incredible injustices hidden in our history and there is little in that history that escapes Chomsky's attention. He ruthlessly interrogates the "official record" calling up the muted voices of the victims of aggression to give testimony. From the brutality of Christopher Columbus upon his arrival in the Americas to the persecution of Indonesians in the 1960s, he appeals to the reader to review the evidence amassed over the last 500 years.

Year 501 offers a savage critique of the new world order.
