Thanks, Tamara ************ "America's Predictable Fiasco in Iraq and the Wider Implications of Bush's Failure to Win the Peace" Free Public lecture by Scott Taylor well-known Halifax Herald correspondent, award-winning journalist, best selling author and Esprit de Corps editor Thursday, July 8 7:00-8:30 p.m. Room 307 Student Union Bldg. Dalhousie University 6136 University Ave. Scott Taylor, a former professional soldier, has been editor and publisher of Esprit de Corps, an Ottawa-based magazine. Taylor has logged over one million air miles as a war correspondent reporting from such global hot spots as the Persian Gulf, Cambodia, Western Sahara, Croatia, Bosnia, and most recently from Iraq, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Kosovo, and Macedonia. Since August 2000, Taylor has made a total of 15 trips into Iraq to report on the effects of the UN sanctions, the ravages of depleted uranium following the 1991 Gulf War, and the heightening tensions with the United States. Scott regularly appears in the Canadian media as a military analyst. Spinning on the Axis of Evil - Book Description Spinning on the Axis of Evil is Scott Taylor's fifth book and is his personal experiences gathered during 14 separate trips into Iraq - before and after the toppling of Saddam's regime. This book provides a rare insight into the plight of the Iraqi people who, in a single generation, suffered through three devastating wars and 13 years of crippling sanctions. From clandestine talks with Saddam's top intelligence officials to dinner table chats with ordinary citizens, Taylor reveals what it was like to be inside Iraq during the dramatic countdown to Bush's declaration of war. Put into historical context and with a rare inside view of Saddam's regime, "Spinning on the Axis of Evil" provides a unique perspective on President Bush's intervention in Iraq. Books will be available for sale at a discount of only $20 at the public lecture.
