“The Devil’s Chessboard” Author Talk | South SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Author, journalist, and founder and former CEO of Salon.com, David Tablot will be joining us to promote his new book, The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America’s Secret Government: “The story of Allen Dulles (1893-1969), his brother John Foster, and the power elite that ran Washington, D.C., following World War II is the stuff of spy fiction, but it reaches even further beyond to an underworld of unaccountable authority… Talbot delivers a variety of thrilling stories about Dulles that boggle the mind, from skimming funds from the Marshall Plan to using Richard Nixon as his mouthpiece in Congress… Ultimately, the blatant manipulative activities of the Dulles brothers will shock most readers.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Mr. Talbot’s bestselling book, Season of the Witch: Enchantment, Terror and Deliverance in the City of Love is the current “One City One Book” title in San Francisco.
