In Rogue States, renowned political analyst Noam Chomsky offers a blistering critique of American foreign policy and the hypocrisy of the "rogue state" label. By holding the United States accountable to the international laws it claims to uphold, Chomsky exposes a pattern of military dominance and economic imperialism across regions like the Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Through detailed analyses of interventions in Iraq, Kosovo, East Timor, and Colombia, he reveals how the U.S. frequently undermines the United Nations and human rights declarations, ultimately arguing that the nation has evolved into the very "rogue state" it purports to condemn.

"The six wives of Henry VIII—Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr—have become defined in a popular sense not so much by their lives as by the way these lives ended.  But, as Antonia Fraser conclusively proves, they were rich and feisty characters. They may have been victims of Henry's obsession with a male heir, but they were not willing victims.
