NPR’s Jack Beatty ”The Lost History of 1914” (at Main Library)
April 25th, 2012 at 7:00pm at the Framingham Main Library, (in Costin Room), join NPR’s Jack Beatty as he talks about his new book, “The Lost History of 1914: Reconsidering the Year the Great War Began” (2012) *** Beatty, Author and News Analyst on NPR’s On Point program offers a completely original view of World War I, testing the long-held theory that it was inevitable. “Most books set in 1914 map the path leading to war,” Beatty writes. “This one maps the multiple paths that led away from it.” Publisher’s Weekly says that readers “…may find some arguments more convincing than others, but they will thoroughly enjoy Beatty’s thoughtful, often discomforting opinions.” *** New England Mobile Book Fair will sell copies of the book at a 20% discount. *** Refreshments will be served.
