GILES MILTON
talk & booksigning for "Paradise Lost: Smyrna, 1922"
Wednesday, October 1 at 7:30 pm

Following WWI, Smyrna was a prosperous, cosmopolitan port on Turkey's Aegean coast where Greeks, Turks, Armenians, Jews and other nationalities lived in harmony. Then, the unthinkable happened. "Paradise Lost: Smyrna, 1922" is historian Giles Milton’s searingly vivid account of the city’s destruction ­ a nearly forgotten war in which a great modern city burned for four days, 100,000 people were killed, and millions more left homeless.

Giles Milton is a journalist, historian and best-selling author of five previous works of nonfiction including "White Gold," "The Riddle and the Knight," "Big Chief Elizabeth," and "Nathaniel’s Nutmeg." He lives in London.
