Marching Toward Hell: America and Islam After Iraq
With author Michael Scheuer
Monday, April 14, 2008
7 to 9 p.m.
Lecture and Discussion
Book signing in the lobby
In his new book, Marching Toward
Hell: America and Islam After Iraq, Michael Scheuer argues that
America is still unsafe from terrorists, not only because of the
war in Iraq, but also because of U.S. policy since the end of the
Cold War. For the last 30 years, Scheuer argues, American policymakers — on
both sides of the aisle — have
remained stuck in Cold War thinking, and as a result, have failed to
adequately address national security concerns, leaving our nation increasingly
vulnerable to attack. Scheuer examines the policy actions that
have undermined the very goals for which we are fighting and have contributed
to al-Qaeda’s strength, and addresses our new president must
do in the future to protect America.
Michael Scheuer is a veteran CIA counterterrorism
officer who for several years headed the agency’s Osama bin
Laden unit, and was involved in managing some of the most important
covert action programs in the Islamic world. Scheuer is also the
author of the New York Times best seller Imperial
Hubris.
