The Withdrawal: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and the Fragility of U.S. Power is a 2022 non-fiction book[1] written by Noam Chomsky and Vijay Prashad and is based on a conversation between them in 2021.[2][3]
Context
[edit]The writers discuss American power, in the wake of U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan after a war, and its implications on the involved countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Vietnam.[3] Then they compare United States' power with China who is trying to build their own power through institutions like Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.[3]
In their opinion, this will likely lead to a conflict.[3]
Reception
[edit]The book has been reviewed by Kirkus Reviews,[2] Foreign Policy,[4] and Library Journal.[3] Kirkus Reviews called it "a collection of insightful geopolitical analyses".[2]
