Noam Chomsky Type Book Suggestions

[theBruiser500]

I've read Manufacturing Consentent, The Indispensible Chomsky, Hegemony or Survival, and Rogue Stats and his material is starting to get reused or repetitive or whatever. Any other Chomsky books I should get? How about other authors that write about the same sort of stuff as him?

I'd be interested in reading more about some of the stuff Chomsky brings up but in more detail, like what resources exactly these small countries we take over have that we want, how much importance they are, how exactly we support contras or whatever, detail on specific countries (nicaragua, cuba, etc), i get his point that the media is biased in favor of government but i'm still unclear on exactly why it's biased. Anyway, book suggestions on any of these topics would be very appreciated. The subject doesn't matter so much as it being well written, good author.

To receiprocate the favor, here are 2 books for you all that you absolutely must read though on a different subject completely, Diet For A New America, and Mad Cowboy.

I think "The Prize" is a nice, balanced history of Oil, and is a great primer for appreciating debates on energy. It is not as politically incisive, but still good stuff.

I'd try "How the Irish Became White" by Noel Ignatiev--its fun, its easy, and its a fascinating history of internal race relations that bears extrapolation to the wider world.

These are not really related, but good non-fiction books to read anyway.
