He is writing “Seeking Monsters to Destroy: Language and War from Thomas Jefferson to George W. Bush,” which is to be published by Oxford University Press.
Armin Cantini will introduce Engel. The meeting is open to the public, but reservations are required. The cost of the luncheon is $15. Call Harold Fattig, 409-692-3838, for information or to make reservations.
