Please join us for the talk by Dr. Gareth Porter:
Award-winning investigative journalist Dr. Gareth Porter will talk about his book, ‘Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare’, on Wednesday, March 26, 2014 at 7:00 PM at the Walpole Public Library. ‘Manufactured Crisis’ provides unique and timely background to the ongoing diplomacy around Iran's nuclear technology program. In this book, Porter offers a well documented critique of the official 'western' account of what the Iranian government has been doing, and why. Current negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 over the final status nuclear agreement make the book particularly timely.
Gareth Porter is an historian, author, investigative journalist, and policy analyst on U.S. foreign and military policy. Porter received his master’s degree in International Politics from the University of Chicago and his PhD in South-East Asian Studies from Cornell University. He has taught international studies at the City College of New York and American University, and he was the first Academic Director for Peace and Conflict Resolution in the Washington Semester program at American University.
Sponsored by the Walpole Peace and Justice Group, Porter’s talk will be held in the Community Room at the Walpole Public Library, 143 School Street, Walpole, MA.

Dr. Andrew Bacevich will talk on his book ‘Breach of Trust: How Americans Failed Their Soldiers and Their Country’ on April 8, 2014 at 6:30 PM at the Walpole Public Library.
