James Fallows
Blind Into Bagdad
In the autumn of 2002, James Fallows wrote an article predicting many of the problems America would face if it invaded Iraq. After events confirmed many of his predictions, Fallows went on to write some of the most acclaimed, award-winning journalism on the planning and execution of the war, much of which has been assigned as required reading within the U.S. military. In Blind Into Baghdad, Fallows takes us from the planning of the war through the struggles of reconstruction, and shows us how many of the difficulties were anticipated by experts who the administration ignored. Fallows argues that the war in Iraq undercut the larger "war on terror," and examines why Iraq still had no army two years after the invasion.

Hard Power: The Politics of National Security

Engame in the Balkans
Can Europe tame the Balkans? That's the question veteran journalist Elizabeth Pond addresses in this timely and absorbing book.

WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL
Rajiv Chandrasekaran
Imperial Life in the Emerald City
Drawing on hundreds of interviews and internal documents, Rajiv Chandrasekaran tells the story of the people and ideas that inhabited the Green Zone during the occupation, from the imperial viceroy L. Paul Bremer III to the fleet of twenty-somethings hired to implement the idea that Americans could build a Jeffersonian democracy in an embattled Middle Eastern country. In the vacuum of postwar planning, Chandrasekaran argues that Bremer ignored what Iraqis told him they wanted or needed, and instead pursued irrelevant neoconservative solutions. His underlings spent their days drawing up pie-in-the-sky policies instead of rebuilding looted buildings and restoring electricity production. Chandrasekaran reports that these almost comic initiatives angered the locals and helped fuel the insurgency. Imperial Life in the Emerald City is a startling portrait of an Oz-like place where a vital aspect of our government's policy in Iraq played out. Please note: This event will take place at the Marines' Memorial Club, 609 Sutter Street. For reservations and information, please call 415-293-4600.

WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL
Anatol Lieven and John Hulsman
Ethical Realism
America today faces a world more complicated than ever before, but both political parties have failed to propose a foreign policy that addresses our greatest threats. As a result, the United States risks lurching from crisis to crisis. In Ethical Realism, Anatol Lieven and John Hulsman, two distinguished policy experts from different political camps, have joined forces to write an impassioned manifesto that advocates a new way forward. Lieven and Hulsman emphasize the core principles of the American tradition of ethical realism, as set out by Reinhold Niebuhr, Hans Morgenthau, and George Kennan: prudence, patriotism, responsibility, humility, and a deep understanding of other nations. They show how this spirit informed the strategies of Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower in the early years of the Cold War and how these presidents were able to contain Soviet expansionism while rejecting the pressure for disastrous preventive wars; a threat that has returned since 9/11. Please note: This event will take place at the World Affairs Council, 312 Sutter Street, 2nd Floor. Check in is at 5:30 pm. Admission is free for members, $5 for students, and $15 for non-members.

Anthony Shadid
Night Draws Near
Anthony Shadid went to Iraq although he was neither embedded with soldiers nor briefed by politicians. Because he is fluent in Arabic, Shadid-an Arab American born and raised in Oklahoma-was able to disappear into the divided, dangerous worlds of Iraq. Day by day, as the American dream of freedom clashed with Arab notions of justice, he pieced together the human story of ordinary Iraqis weathering the terrible dislocations and tragedies of war. Through the lives of men and women, Sunnis and Shiites, American sympathizers and outraged young jihadists, Shadid shows us the journey of a defiant, hopeful, and resilient Iraq. Please note: This event will take place at the World Affairs Council, 312 Sutter Street, 2nd Floor. Check in is at 5:30 pm. Admission is free for members, $5 for students, and $15 for non-members.
