Everyone’s Books is proud to present:
David Lindorff
Saturday, Feb 3rd
at the Common Ground Restaurant
25 Elliot Street (2nd floor) at 1 pm.
Lindorff will read from and discuss his highly acclaimed book, The Case for Impeachment: The Legal Argument for Removing President George W. Bush from Office, co-written with Barbara Olshansky.
Award-winning investigative reporter Dave Lindorff has been working as a journalist for 33 years. A regular columnist for CounterPunch, he also writes frequently for Extra! and Salon magazine, as well as for Businessweek, The Nation and Treasury&Risk Management Magazine. In the late 1970s, he ran the Daily News bureau covering Los Angeles County government, and in the mid-'90s, spent several years as a correspondent in Hong Kong and China for Businessweek. Over the years he has written for such publications as Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, Village Voice, Forbes, The London Observer and the Australian National Times.
Hard hitting and persuasive in its argument, The Case for Impeachment will be one of the most talked-about political books for the pathetic remainder of the Bush Presidency.
"As timely as today's headlines, this vital book explains why impeachment should be deployed against the serial Constitution-shredder George W. Bush…Dave Lindorff (a first-rate independent progressive journalist) and Barbara Olshansky (a dedicated civil liberties attorney), in The Case for Impeachment, have restored this vital tool to the arsenal of democracy." -- Doug Ireland, columnist for the LA Weekly
A two-time Fulbright Scholar (Shanghai, China and Kaohsiung, Taiwan), David Lindorff is a 1975 graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and received a B.A. in Chinese in 1972 from Wesleyan University. In October 2004, he was awarded a coveted "Most Censored Story of 2003" award by Project Censored (for his Oct. 16, 2003 story in Salon about the Pentagon's quiet efforts to gear up the machinery for a return to the draft). A founding member of the National Writers Union, and a member of the steering committee of the NWU Philadelphia local, for the past nine years, he has lived with his family just outside Philadelphia.
In addition to writing, Lindorff is an accomplished folk musician (guitar, vocals and saw).
