In 2011, in the Syrian city of Manbij, a small group of individuals began a movement that overthrew a brutal dictatorship. Pulitzer Prize-finalist and The New Yorker journalist Anand Gopal’s Days of Love and Rage is a sweeping account of Syrians fighting for a better world and in doing so, undertaking one of the most remarkable experiments in democracy of modern times. Less than two years after the Assad regime’s fall, Gopal discusses his masterful work that’s gained comparisons to Phillip Gouretvich and Katherine Boo. Chaired by Henry Bell.
