Reading & Signing by author Aaron Glantz

As a reporter for the staunchly antiwar Pacifica Radio, twenty-seven-year-old Aaron Glantz had spent much of early 2003 warning of catastrophe if the U.S. invaded Iraq. But, as he watched the statue of Saddam topple, he wondered whether he had been mistaken: In interviews with regular Iraqis, he found wide support for the Americans. Then, public opinion changed. In early 2004, the U.S. military initiated a completely unprovoked bombing campaign against the population of Fallujah, increasing support for an armed resistance. The attack confounded many anti-Saddam Iraqis, and plunged the nation into chaos. In "How America Lost Iraq", Glantz tells his story of working on the front lines, while revealing truths that most media outlets have missed or failed to report.

Join us as Mr. Glantz shares his brutally honest account of discovering how popular the U.S. presence was in Iraq and then watched this popularity disappear as the Bush administration mishandled the war, leaving us with the intractable conflict we face today.
