Evening with Book/Author Lynn Olson on her latest book,
"Troublesome Young Men: The Rebels Who Brought Churchill to
Power and Helped Saved England."

Join us for a special evening with Lynne Olson! In a starred review, Publishers Weekly says: "Olson's story picks up energy as she reviews the events of 1940, when at long last Chamberlain was replaced by Churchill. …Infused with the sense of urgency felt by the young Tories, Olson's vivid narrative of a critical generational clash leaves the reader wondering what might have happened had they prevailed earlier on.”

Books will be available for purchase by Olsson's Books.

The book builds to their flight from their home village in the wake of the chemical attacks launched against the Kurds by Saddam Hussein in 1987 in what was a virtual holocaust in which 200,000 Kurds were slaughtered. This will be an invaluable evening for all members especially in light of the current events in Iraq and the many discussions on the future of Iraq.

Jean Sasson, a writer and lecturer is the author of five international bestselling books, with two New York Times bestsellers, The Rape of Kuwait (1991) and Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia (1992). When she was 30 years old, Sasson began a lifetime of adventure and travel that has taken her to 59 countries, including every Middle Eastern country. She is regularly consulted by print and electronic mass media in the USA and Europe for her first-hand knowledge of Middle East culture and politics, and her books are required reading in many high schools and colleges. She now lives in the southern United States.
