Thursday, October 29, 6:30 p.m.
Dinner With the Author offers an opportunity to meet an author and dine with other customers in an intimate setting
Tom Gjelten, National Public Radio correspondent to the Pentagon, will join us to discuss his balanced and thoughtful history, BACARDI AND THE LONG FIGHT FOR CUBA. Focusing on one of Cuba's liberal and influential families, he weaves together the personal with the historical. He is now working on a series on national security and extractive resources that he will be glad to discuss.
The dinner that follows on Tuesday, November 17 features Rick Atkinson and a twentieth-anniversary edition of his history of the West Point Class of 1966, THE LONG GRAY LINE, which describes the class that carried a great deal of the burden in the Vietnam War. Rick has written a new forward.
Each three-course dinner at Rock Creek Restaurant (in Mazza Gallery, Friendship Heights) costs $65 per person or $115 for a couple, and includes a paperback book. Please let Bonnie Kogod know if you would like to come: bkogod@politics-prose.com.
