March UUCV Book Group

March 26, 2017 , 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Join us on Sunday, March 26, 2017 at 6:30 PM in the Board Room to discuss Nicholas Hénin’s book, Jihad Academy: The Misperceptions of Islamic State and Their Consequences.  Hénin, a French journalist covering the Middle East, was captured by ISIS and spent 10 months in captivity.  He deliberately chooses not to write about his captivity, but instead presents ISIS as a political entity and not just a terrorist organization as presented in the western media.  Understanding the wider context of events in the Middle East, particularly Iraq and Syria, is a necessary condition for framing any response to this crisis.  This will be a very interesting and informative discussion.  Questions: Contact Rich at [email protected] .
