'A Peace To End All Peace' on Menu for March's Literature For Lunch

David Fromkin’s ‘A Peace to End All Peace’ is the topic of the Literature for Lunch discussion series in March. Supported by the Boise State University English department, Literature for Lunch has grown in popularity and attendance. This year, to make room for growing enthusiasts, discussion will be from 12:10-1 p.m., Friday, March 5, in the Boise Public Library auditorium, 725 S. Capitol. The New York Times bestseller ‘A Peace to End All Peace’ studies the fall of the former Ottoman Empire and the formation of the modern Middle-East through European interaction. Fromkin traces these events through history to give readers insight into the groundwork of modern Middle-Eastern politics and policy. Fromkin, professor of international relations, history and law at Boston University, is the author of numerous essays and several books including ‘The Way of the World: From the Dawn of Civilizations to the Eve of the Twenty-First Century’ (2000) and ‘Europe’s Last Summer’ (2004). He currently resides in New York. -30- Contacts Carol Martin English department 208-426-1179 Jan Widmayer English department 2089-426-1233 Media Contact Kathleen Craven communications and marketing 208-426-3275
