He is the author/editor of 14 books, including “Imperial Ambitions,” with Noam Chomsky, and “The Decline and Fall of Public Broadcasting.” “Targeting Iran” examines today’s U.S.-Iran standoff through interviews with Noam Chomsky, Ervand Abrahamian and Nahid Mozaffari. He will also sign books after his talk.
