George McGovern - Abraham Lincoln
Start: 7:30 pm
Historic LoDo: George S. McGovern, a Midwesterner, former U.S. senator, presidential candidate, veteran, and historian by training, will discuss and sign his new book Abraham Lincoln: The American Presidents Series: The 16th President, 1861-1865 ($22.00 Henry Holt). “McGovern’s Lincoln is a finely wrought gem. In this small volume McGovern captures Lincoln’s character and leadership strength better than many weighty tomes. It is a worthy addition to the brilliant American Presidents Series.” —Doris Kearns Goodwin Visit the American Presidents Series website Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com
Kevin Bales - The Slave Next Door
Start: 7:30 pm
Colfax Avenue: Dr. Kevin Bales is the world’s leading expert on modern slavery. For more than 13 years, Bales has traveled the world researching slavery, consulting with governments, interviewing former slaves and slave-holders. Bales will discuss and sign his important new book The Slave Next Door: Human Trafficking and Slavery in America Today ($24.95 Univ. of California Press). “Most Americans believe that slavery in our country ended with the Emancipation Proclamation. They are wrong. The Slave Next Door exposes slavery in today’s America in all its forms, and sounds a call to arms to government, corporations, and private citizens alike.” —Kerry Kennedy, Founder, Robert F.
