Please join us for a literary gathering with author Evan Thomas to discuss his book, Road to Surrender: Three Men and the Countdown to the End of World War II, with his wife and research and writing partner, Oscie Thomas. A signed copy of the book is included with your ticket.

"In this meticulously crafted and vivid account, Evan Thomas tells the gripping and terrifying story of the last days of the Second World War in the Pacific. Writing with insight and understanding, he re-creates for us those critical moments when, for better or worse, the decisions, from the dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the Japanese surrender, were made." — Margaret MacMillan, author ofWar: How Conflict Shaped Us

We hope you’ll be part of this special afternoon, dedicated to writers and readers and the lively conversations that ensue when people and worlds come together.

All proceeds will go to support the Washington Independent Review of Books, a nonprofit, reader-supported organization, dedicated to offering thoughtful commentary about a wide range of books, and introducing readers to books and authors they might not otherwise meet.
