Join us at Mrs. Dalloway's on Tuesday, October 17th at 7pm when author Stuart Reid comes to discuss and sign copies of his new book "The Lumumba Plot: The Secret History of the CIA and a Cold War Assassination". Reid's book is a spellbinding work of history that reads like a Cold War spy thriller—about the U.S.-sanctioned plot to assassinate the democratically elected leader of the newly independent Congo. Stuart will be joined in conversation by Adam Hochschild. This is a free author event and we ask that you register using the Eventbrite link below.
