Book Event on “Turkmeniscam” in Washington

By Ken Silverstein

For readers in D.C., I’ll be at Politics and Prose Bookstore this Sunday to discuss and take questions on Turkmeniscam: How Washington Lobbyists Fought to Flack for a Stalinist Dictatorship. The event starts at 1 p.m.; the bookstore is located at 5015 Connecticut Avenue, N.W.

“A nimble contribution to the literature on the maneuvers of high-priced and impactful wheelers and dealers in the nation’s capital,” the New York Observer said in a review yesterday. “Silverstein’s expose has some of the fun of an Elmore Leonard novel.”
