Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Pepperdine University, Dan Caldwell, will be here to sign his new book: Vortex of Conflict: U.S. Policy Toward Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq.

On August 5th, 2011 from 5 pm to 7 pm, come and meet Dr. Caldwell and find out about the actions that led us into the war with Iraq and Afghanistan.

Vortex of Conflict is the first, accessible, one-volume resource for anyone who wishes to understand why and how the U.S. became involved in these two wars—and in the affairs of Pakistan—concurrently. It will stand as the comprehensive reference work for general readers seeking a road map to the conflicts, or students looking for analysis and elucidation of the relevant data, and for veterans and their families seeking to better understand their own experience.

 The book will be available in the store for $25.95.
