On 17 March, our guest speaker at the Post-Soviet Press Group will be Jo Seaman, who will be discussing her new book, "Roses Down the Barrel of a Gun – Georgia: Love and Revolution”. Jo will introduce the book, provide personal reflections on the events leading to the Rose Revolution of 2003, and speak about the importance of soft diplomacy.
“I loved this book – it made a huge impression on me, because Tbilisi was such a different place when I worked there – it is hard to believe that so much had changed in such a short time.” Alexandra Hall Hall, former British Ambassador to Georgia
“Such a wonderful book! Full of detail and color, just like the Georgia we have come to love. Thank you for this contribution to the history of contemporary Georgia! It is a must read.” Paul Joyal, Managing Director, Public Safety and Homeland Security Practice at National Strategies, Inc.
