DESCRIPTION:Peabody Award winning journalist Reese Erlich returns to Palo Alto to talk 
 about his new book Conversations with Terrorists: Middle East Leaders on 
 Politics, Violence and Empire.\n\nDrawing on original research and 
 firsthand interviews, Conversations with Terrorists offers critical 
 portraits of six Middle Eastern leaders often labeled as terrorists: Syrian 
 president Bashar Al-Assad, Hamas top leader Khaled Meshal, Israeli 
 politician Geula Cohen, Iranian Revolutionary Guard founder Mohsen 
 Sazargara, Hezbollah spiritual advisor Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Fadlallah, 
 and former Afghan Radio and Television Ministry head Malamo Nazamy. Veteran 
 journalist Reese Erlich offers them a chance to explain key issues and to 
 respond to charges leveled by the United States. Critiquing these responses 
 and synthesizing a broad range of material, Erlich shows that yesterday’s 
 terrorist is today’s national leader, and that today’s freedom fighter 
 may become tomorrow’s terrorist. He concludes that the global war on 
 terror has diverted public attention from the war’s real goal—expanding 
 U.S. influence and interests in the Middle East—and offers policy 
 remedies.\n\nErlich’s career in journalism goes back 40 years. As a 
 freelancer, he regularly contributes to NPR, CBC (Canada), ABC (Australia) 
 and the San Francisco Chronicle.\n\nErlich will be available to sign copies 
 of his new book along with his previous works, Dateline Havana and The Iran 
 Agenda.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/08/12/18655937.php
