The Peoria Area World Affairs Council (PAWAC) and the Institute for International Studies will host Dr. Trita Parsi for a discussion of his new book, Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran, and the Triumph of Diplomacy, on Thursday, October 12, 2017.

The Iran Treaty deal accomplished two major feats in one stroke: it averted the threat of war with Iran and prevented the possibility of an Iranian nuclear bomb in the near future. Trita Parsi, a Middle East foreign policy expert who advised the Obama White House throughout the talks and had access to decision-makers and diplomats on the U.S. and Iranian sides alike, examines every facet of this effort. His new book, Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran, and the Triumph of Diplomacy, draws from more than seventy-five in-depth interviews with key decision-makers, including Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
Parsi’s book will be available for purchase at the event and he will be available for a book signing after his lecture.
