DESCRIPTION:Conversations with Terrorists: Middle East Leaders on Politics, Violence 
 and Empire / An Evening with Reese Erlich\n \nPeabody Award winning 
 journalist Reese Erlich returns to Walnut Creek 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 who are sometimes 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 will be available 
 to sign copies of his new book along with his previous works, Dateline 
 Havana and The Iran Agenda.\n\nAdmission:  $15 ($12 Peace Center members); 
 $7 students.  No one turned away for lack of funds.\n\n\n
