An opportunity to hear the influential commentator Timothy Garton
Ash discussing his work and the events of the past decade with
Channel 4 News presenter Jon Snow.

The Guardian columnist and Oxford historian witnessed the fall
of Slobodan Milosevic in Serbia, visited Burma's pro-democracy
leader Aung San Suu Kyi and was in the Ukraine during the Orange
revolution.

His reflections on the pivotal events of the past decade,
including the 2008 American presidential election and his writings
on the future of Europe, multiculturalism and terrorism are
included in his recent collection of "mini-essays" titled Facts are
Subversive: Political Writing from a Decade without a Name.

Hear Timothy Garton Ash discussing the turbulent first decade of
the new millennium, his belief in the importance of facts in
journalism and why establishing them remains a political and a
moral imperative.

Timothy Garton Ash is the author of nine books of political
writing. His essays appear regularly in the New York Review of
Books and he writes a weekly column in the Guardian.
