Noam Chomsky
American linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky, 2010.
When Noam Chomsky was 10 years old, he wrote an editorial for his school newspaper that lamented the fall of Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War and the rise of fascism in Europe. His research on this subject was so thorough that it later served as the basis for his 1969 critical review, "Objectivity and Liberal Scholarship," which analyzed a study of that period by historian Gabriel Jackson.1
