If you missed our email over the weekend, please note that our Wed. 1/25 event with Ambassador David Scheffer has been cancelled. He had better things to do. In Cambodia.
As the first U.S. ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues, Scheffer was at the forefront of efforts to set up criminal tribunals for atrocities in the Balkans, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Cambodia and the eventual creation of the International Criminal Court. In his new memoir, he gives a unique account from the killing fields to political back rooms in Washington of the continuing struggle for international justice.
The Brookline Booksmith Book Club has been sharing great books for 10 years. It normally meets on the 2nd Monday of each month, at 7:30 pm in our Writer's and Reader's Room. No need to sign up, just show up.
