Author Larry Everest To Speak On Iraq and the U.S. Global Agenda

Larry Everest, author of the recently published "Oil, Power and Empire: Iraq and the U.S. Global Agenda" and filmmaker, will be speaking on Thursday, March 25, 6 pm, at the Coloma Community Center, Gold Run Room, 4623 T Street, Sacramento.

"This remarkable account of US and UK policy toward Iraq - from its founding as a British colony after World War I to the immediate present - is brilliantly illuminating in an almost literal sense," said Daniel Ellsberg, author, Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers. "It’s as if the author had suddenly turned the lights on in the dark cellar of American foreign policy in the Middle East…I can’t recommend it too highly for the many struggling to fathom how American came to the present calamitous role of occupying Iraq against local resistance."

A donation is appreciated, but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. The event is presented by the Sacramento Valley Labor Committee for Peace and Justice. For more information, contact  (916)455-1396, http://www.laborcommitee.org
