I am expecting Righting the Balance: How You Can Help Protect America to be out November 1 from Potomac Books. As luck would have it, the book is appearing almost three years (minus one day) after I started working on it. It is written for lay people, not experts, and includes a good deal of my personal experience trying to protect America, as well as that of innumerable colleagues.
I’m doing a few book events that friends, colleagues, critics and all others are welcome to attend, depending of course on the hosts’ policies and procedures:
November 4: DACOR Bacon House, noon-2 pm
November 7: Foreign Policy Institute at Johns Hopkins/SAIS (Kenney auditorium), 5-7 pm, with Tom Pickering and Kristin Lord commenting
November 12: Montgomery County Libraries, at 10101 Glenholden Drive in Potomac, 7-8 pm
December 12: Middle East Institute, noon-1 pm
February 20: OASIS at Montgomery Mall, 10:30-noon
I am prepared to do more of these, as the opportunity arises and schedule permits. I always hesitate to publish my email address, but many of you have it and it is not hard to find. Just let me know if there is an opportunity I should take advantage of.
I’ll be doing a couple of op/eds and other short pieces on themes from the book, starting to appear the first week of November I hope. Opportunities for those will also be welcomed.
I’ll be particularly pleased if peacefare.net readers see fit to order a copy. The ad on the right will take you to what NPR this morning called the world’s biggest non-profit to pre-order your very own.
