For those of you in the Washington area, I am chairing a book event and public policy discussion with two-time Pulitzer winner and Washington Post Pentagon correspondent Tom Ricks, whose new book, Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq is hitting the book stores today.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, long-time aide to Colin Powell and former Chief of Staff at the Department of State, will offer comments on Rick’s presentation.
The meeting is open to the public — as long as you RSVP in advance. It will take place Friday, 28 July, 1:00 pm until 2:30 pm. Books will be available. It’s a brownbag meeting, so feel free to bring your lunch — but also note that the meeting will be packed.
RSVP to Elizabeth Wu at wu@newamerica.net — and say that TWN sent you. The site of the meeting will be the conference room of the New America Foundation at 1630 Connecticut Avenue, NW, 7th Floor, Washington D.C.
More later.
