Last Word Books will be hosting Elizabeth de la Vega, a former federal prosecutor and author of the book United States v. George W. Bush (Seven Stories Press), on Tuesday June 26th. De la Vega will be discussing her book, as well as a number of other issues with implications of serious illegality on the part of the Bush Administration, including the firing of federal prosecutors, admitted violations of the FISA Act, and and and...the list of iniquities only grows.

Here are a few links to familiarize your selves, including a video of de la Vega's last appearance in Olympia back in February. Enjoy the links and come down and listen to her speak if you get the chance. Hope to see you here!

Here is a brief summary of the book from TomDispatch.com:
