Award-winning foreign policy journalist, Stephen Kinzer, will return to the virtual version of South End Writes on Tuesday, September 15 at 7:00 PM via ZOOM with a talk titled: How Our Presidential Election Could Reshape the World. Kinzer will be introduced by Christopher Lydon, the erudite host of the WBUR radio show, Open Source.
A Senior Fellow in International and Public Affairs at Brown University’s Watson Institute, he is the author of a dozen books about foreign affairs. They include All the Shah’s Men (reportedly a go-to book for former Senator and Secretary of State, John Kerry) and The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and their Secret World War.
Kinzer most recently presented, Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control, at the South End library in October 2019. He told the audience that although he had seen a lot in his life and career, in researching the book he was “shocked by what he found.” Kinzer is an Opinion Columnist at The Boston Globe and has been a South End resident since the 1970s, except for when he was New York Times bureau chief in Nicaragua, Istanbul and Berlin. At the moment, Kinzer told FOSEL, he is doing something different from writing books: He’s reading them.
