The title "Global Discontent: Dialogues with Noam Chomsky on the Increasing Threats to Democracy" and the subtitle "The American Empire Project," authored by Naoum Chomsky and translated and introduced by Dr. Mohamed Jiad Al-Azraqi. The book includes 12 conversations held over five years from 2013 to 2017, between the esteemed author Noam Chomsky and his colleague David Barsamian. These dialogues covered various topics such as the reasons behind the United States' unconditional support for Israel, the similarity between the apartheid system in South Africa and Israel, and the support of the United States, the European Union, and Canada for the apartheid that is flourishing today in Israel through complex bureaucratic, market, and military institutions that surpass those of South Africa during apartheid. The dialogues also discussed espionage programs of states, the democratic game, Middle East issues, ISIS, the Kurds, Turkey, the spreading of fears and propaganda, alliances, hegemony, the roots of conflicts, elections, voting, Trump's presidency, and more. In this book, you are taken on a captivating journey as you immerse yourself in Chomsky's calm speech, reading his deep thoughts, logical analyses, distinctive style, and concise sentences. His ideas help us understand and comprehend this crowded, harsh, arrogant, and savage-spirited planet. In fact, "The American Empire Project" seems to be a reaction to the changes that occurred in the field of American strategic thinking, as well as in the military and economic stances within the country. The idea of empire was long considered an attack on American democratic heritage. It now threatens to be what defines the relationship between America and other countries in the world. What is the secret behind the adoption and cling to imperial ambitions? What will be the consequences inside and outside America? What are the alternatives to these dangerous tendencies? And what awaits the world at the end of the road?
