Sponsored by the Young Professionals, but open to anyone, the Reading Group gathers inquisitive and engaged people around good food and an important book. For our first meeting we will meet at Bar Avignon to discuss Ahmed Rashid’s Descent into Chaos. A renowned Pakistani journalist, Rashid brings a critical insider’s perspective and regional approach to the current debate over policy in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Descent into Chaos is a tough and thorough look into an incredibly important part of the world and our action in it. This read promises to enrich your experience at the International Speaker Series lecture by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on March 15 and shape a more informed opinion about the future of American foreign policy in Central Asia. Come for our first meeting and help us build the Reading Group into a WAC tradition.
