Last 12 chapters & Special Guests
A special note...and request
The last installment of On the Road to Jericho will release on Saturday, August 9.
On Friday, August 15 I will shut down paid subscriptions.
Between now and then is your last chance to get access to the bonus materials (which include photographs, videos, music and deleted scenes), the audiobook, and join the last Book Club.
If you have enjoyed reading On the Road to Jericho, please consider a 1 month subscription ($5) as a way of saying thank-you for all the work that has gone into writing On the Road to Jericho and releasing it on Substack.
For anyone who subscribes at the annual level between now and then, I will also send you a copy of the full e-book.
Final Book Club: 2 Special Guests
Our last Book Club will be on August 9, the same day that the last installment drops.
Two special guests will, hopefully, be joining us.
Tim Martin, who was the Canadian Representative at the same time I was there. Their office truly was located in the same building as ours, and they truly did help to get us out of Ramallah on that fateful day. He subsequently went on to chair the Kimberly Process to ban conflict diamonds; was Canada’s Ambassador to Argentina, Paraguay and Colombia; and was the last Representative of Canada in Kandahar. He is the author of Moral Hazards (based on his time in Somalia) and Unwinnable Peace, and a mentor to me as I work on book 2.
If her schedule permits, Lyse Doucet - now a veteran BBC war correspondent and BBC’s Chief International Correspondent - will also join us. Lyse is an Arabist, and has covered every conflict in the Middle East, and lived and worked in Pakistan and Afghanistan. If you’ve watched BCC, you’ve probably listened to her reporting from somewhere in the world. (Currently she’s in Iran). Hopefully we won’t have some world crisis in August that will have Lyse jetting off to another part of the world!
Both Lyse and Tim were part of Jerry’s “Sunday Walkers” group.
