IN PERSON: Larry Everest author of the book Oil, Power and Empire: Iraq and the US Global Agenda, will be in Chicago March 10 through 14.

Why did the U.S. invade Iraq? Why is it vowing to stay? Why has its occupation generated such resistance?

Larry Everest demolishes official pretexts of weapons of mass destruction, ties to Al Qaeda, and "liberating Iraqis" along with conventional explanations like bad intelligence or corporate favoritism, and exposes the real agenda at work.
Under cover of a "war on terror" the U.S. is attempting to violently reshape the Middle East and Central Asia, tighten its control of energy sources, and extend its global empire.
Whether you are one who has opposed the war/occupation or anyone who is trying to understand the role of the US in Iraq and the world, come hear Larry Everest speak. His unique book compiles in one place a history of US intervention against Iraq and the devastating consequences for the people and the region.
