Book Signing & Lecture with John Dinges
October 8 @ 7:00 pm
Renowned journalist and author John Dinges will visit Loras College on Wednesday, October 8, for a book signing and lecture. The event will be held at 7:00 p.m. on the 3rd floor of the MARC and is free and open to the public.
Dinges, Professor Emeritus of Journalism at Columbia University and former correspondent for The Washington Post and managing editor at NPR, reported from Chile during its most turbulent years (1972–1978). His latest book, Chile in Their Hearts, revisits the stories of two young Americans who were executed following Chile’s 1973 military coup. Drawing on newly uncovered archives and interviews, Dinges challenges accepted narratives and sheds new light on U.S. involvement in Chile.
His other works include Assassination on Embassy Row (with Saul Landau) and The Condor Years: How Pinochet and His Allies Brought Terrorism to Three Continents.
