Milton Viorst has covered the Middle East as a journalist and scholar since the 1960s. He was The New Yorker’s Middle East correspondent, and his work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal. "Storm from the East: The Struggle between the Arab World and the Christian West" (scheduled to be released April 18) is Viorst's sixth book on the Middle East.

Viorst will be speaking to the indianapolis Committee on Foreign Relations. It is sure to be an interesting event, perhaps an appropriate way to spend Holocaust Remembrance Day. Check with Courtenay Weldon for details.
