We had a good meeting last week, and an interesting discussion of Not on Our Watch: The Mission to End Genocide in Darfur and Beyond. In addition to explaining the background of the crisis, the book listed many ways that each of us as individuals can help to raise awareness of what's happening in Darfur.
For September, we are reading, Second Chance: Three Presidents and the Crisis of American Superpower, by Zbigniew Brzezinski. According to The Washington Post, this book by Jimmy Carter's national security advisor, "grades the performance of Bush, Clinton, and Bush. Second Chance even comes with a full blown report card. (You can guess which president gets an F.)" Brzezinsky makes the case that "America will get a second chance - but not a third - to reclaim the mantle of global leadership".
I look forward to reading it, and hope that you can join us for our next meeting on Wednesday, September 12th, 6:30 PM, at the Keene Public Library, second floor.
