Through the lens of a careful assessment of the political views of
MIT's Noam Chomsky and Harvard's Alan Dershowitz--the two
protagonists of a Cambridge-based feud over the past forty
years--author Howard Friel chronicles an American intellectual
history from the U.S. war in Vietnam in the 1960s to the
contemporary debate about the Israel-Palestine conflict. Major
findings reveal the consistency of Chomsky's principled support of
international law, human rights, and civil liberties, and a
reversal by Dershowitz from support in the 1960s to opposition of
those legal standards today. Friel's volume argues that a Chomskyan
adherence by the United States to international law and human
rights would reduce the threat of terrorism and preserve civil
liberties, that the Dershowitz-backed war on terrorism increases
the threat of terrorism and undermines civil liberties, and that
the incremental but steady transition toward a preventive state
threatens the permanent suspension of civil liberties in the United
States.
