'Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy' by Noam Chomsky is a scathing critique of U.S. foreign and domestic policies, exposing the hypocrisy and danger of American actions both at home and abroad. Chomsky argues that the United States, often seen as a global superpower, actually fits the profile of a failed state, failing to protect its citizens from violence, disregarding international law, and lacking genuine democratic institutions.
