In Person Talk: “Red Line” with Joby Warrick
March 31, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Black Flags, the thrilling unknown story of America’s mission in Syria: to find and destroy Syria’s chemical weapons and keep them out of the hands of the Islamic State

When Russia offered to broker the removal of Syria’s chemical weapons, Obama leapt at the out.
