Meet the authors in New York City tomorrow.

I just returned from a brief visit to New York City and miss her already… So I will commission those of you who are in the Big Apple these days to check out this event, happening tomorrow in midtown Manhattan, if it tickles your awareness:

TRUE CRIMES: THE UNTOLD STORY BEHIND THE DEVASTATION OF IRAQ

With Seymour Hersh, Jeremy Scahill, Chris Hedges and Laila Al-Arian

Join bestselling author JEREMY SCAHILL, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer CHRIS HEDGES, journalist LAILA AL-ARIAN, and The New Yorker’s SEYMOUR HERSH, as they go behind the headlines to tell the untold story of the occupation of Iraq, the daily plight of Iraqi civilians, and the ongoing role of private mercenaries in America’s “War on Terror.”

The event is a dual book launch for Collateral Damage: America’s War Against Iraqi Civilians by Chris Hedges and Laila Al-Arian, and the updated paperback edition of Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army by Jeremy Scahill.

The conversation will be followed by audience questions and a book signing.
