Welcome to IOU Digital Library

A provocative collection of essays by Noam Chomsky analyzing how the concept of “terrorism” is often applied selectively — arguing that state-sponsored violence and interventions are frequently framed as legitimate “warfare,” while similar actions by non‑state actors are condemned as “terrorism.” The book critiques Western media narratives, U.S. foreign policy (especially in the Middle East), and the ideological mechanisms that shape public perception of international conflict. First published in 1986 and updated over time, the 2015 edition incorporates events and discussions up through the early 21st century — providing a critical lens on global security, intervention, and moral hypocrisy in international politics
