Volume one of the influential study of US foreign policy during the Cold War -- and the media's manipulative coverage -- by the authors of Manufacturing Consent.

First published in 1979, Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman's two-volume work, The Political Economy of Human Rights, is a devastating analysis of the United States government's suppression of human rights and support of authoritarianism in Asia, Africa and Latin America during the 1960s and 70s. Still one of the most comprehensive studies of the subject, it demonstrates how government obscured its role in torture, murder and totalitarianism abroad with the aid of the news media.

Volume one, The Washington Connection and Third World Fascism, reviews Washington's actions in the western hemisphere and Southeast Asia, including US aggression in Indochina -- the worst campaign of state terror since World War II. Dissecting the official views of establishment scholars and their journals, the major pundits of the status quo emerge from this book thoroughly denuded of their credibility.
