Diesel, A Bookstore in Brentwood is positively delighted to host former U.S. senator, presidential candidate, veteran, and historian George McGovern and author, columnist, and commentator John Dean as they talk politics on Thursday, August 27th, at 7 p.m.

George McGovern's most recent book is Abraham Lincoln: The 16th President, 1861-1865. Author of Team of Rivals, Doris Kearns Goodwin, says “McGovern’s Lincoln is a finely wrought gem. In this small volume McGovern captures Lincoln’s character and leadership strength better than many weighty tomes. It is a worthy addition to the brilliant American Presidents Series.”

Most famously, John Dean served as White House Counsel to President Richard Nixon from 1970-1973, and became the star witness of the Watergate prosecution. Dean frequently appears on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olberman and is the author of numerous books including, Worse Than Watergate, Conservatives Without Conscience and, most recently, a reissue of Blind Ambition: The End of the Story.

Don't miss this special appearance by two influential and important American political figures.

There will also be a wine and cheese reception following the discussion!

See you there!
