Reminder that Foreign correspondent and investigative reporter Reese Erlich will give a talk on his new book “Inside Syria: The Backstory of Their Civil War and What the World Can Expect” on Wednesday, November 12, 2014 at 7:30 PM at the United Church, 30 Common Walpole. Recently returned from northern Iraq, Erlick will also discuss the growing influence of extremist rebel groups and why the US bombing campaign will hurt both Americans and people of the region. The talk is sponsored by the Walpole Peace and justice Group. This timely book shows not only what is happening inside Syria but why it is so important for the Middle East, the US, and the world. People may park in the parking lot to the right of the church, using the driveway after the Center for Community Counseling and Education, and should enter the church by the right side door.
