Author to tell FBI terrorism story, 6:30 pm March 28

Garrett M. Graff will discuss his new book, "The Threat Matrix: The FBI at War in the Age of Global Terror," at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 28th.

Graff, editor of The Washingtonian, has spent more time traveling with FBI Director Robert Mueller than any other journalist.

Given unprecedented access to once-secret documents and interviews, Graff goes inside the FBI’s war against terrorism. Graff details the FBI’s behind-the-scenes fight with the CIA, the Department of Justice, and several White House administrations over how to combat terrorism, balance civil liberties, and preserve security.

Graff explores the story of a small group of FBI agents who believed that they could confront a new generation of international terrorists without compromising America's moral high-ground; a view not always shared by the CIA.

Plan to join us for a fascinating and informative evening with Graff by making reservations at [email protected] or 202-662-7523. The event is free for Club members and $5 charge for non-members.
