Book Description
The renowned activist examines the brutal reality of America’s Cold War era foreign policy across Central America—with a new preface by the author. First published in 1986, Turning the Tide presents Noam Chomsky’s expert analysis of three interrelated questions: What was the aim and impact of the US Central American policy? What factors in US society supported and opposed that policy? And how can concerned citizens affect future policy? Chomsky demonstrates how US Central American policies implemented broader US economic, military, and social aims—while claiming a supposedly positive impact on the lives of people in Central America. A particularly revealing focus of Chomsky's argument is the world of US academia and media, which Chomsky analyzes in detail to explain why the US public is so misinformed about our government's policies.

Book Description
Commandos in Timor 1942. Love in postwar Hiroshima. Promises made and forgotten. In 1982 Mike Whalen reluctantly visits his wartime commando base at rugged Wilsons Promontory, and is shocked to meet Lena, the granddaughter of his glamorous old friends, Helen and Johnny. When Johnny died he left behind a burden of secrets, and as Mike is drawn back into Lena’s family he’s overwhelmed by his past: growing up in wild Broome, tragic guerilla missions in Timor, desire in devastated Hiroshima, betrayal in the jazzy fifties. Before Mike can turn the bitter tides of memory he must rebuild his bonds with wartime mates and confront Helen, and himself, with the truth. A saga of adventure, passion and redemption in WWII Timor and atom-bombed Hiroshima, by the winner of the Mountbatten Maritime Award and the Western Australian Premier’s Book Award for Non-Fiction.
