The Long Struggle:
The Arab World and the Christian WestWith Milton Viorst
Monday, April 24, 2006
7 to 9 p.m.

Student Resource Center (SRC), Room 2800

425 Fawell Blvd.
Glen Ellyn, IL
Milton Viorst will discuss America's engagement in and uneasy relationship with the Arab world. He argues that brutal conflict in the region will continue until the West, with the United States in the lead, honors the Arabs' insistence on deciding their own destiny. He maintains that the current conflict is simply the latest round in a 1,400 year struggle between Christianity and Islam, in which the United States became a participant only in the last century.
Viorst has written extensively for the New Yorker, Foreign Affairs, Harper's, Atlantic, and the New York Times Magazine. He has written 14 books, the latest of which is Storm from the East: The Struggle Between the Arab World and the Christian West, which will be published by Random House this spring and available for purchase and signing at the program.
This series of programs on the politics and economics of world affairs is jointly sponsored by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations and College of DuPage.
