Join us on Wednesday, September 7 from 12 to 1 p.m. for a Zoom discussion of The Great Rift by James Mann. The Great Rift is a sweeping history of the intertwined careers of Dick Cheney and Colin Powell, whose rivalry and conflicting views of U.S. national security color our political debate to this day.

In a wide-ranging, deeply researched and dramatic narrative, Mann explores each man’s biography and philosophical predispositions to show how and why this deep and permanent rupture occurred.

We are proud to partner with the Loudoun County Public Library, which is making available multiple copies of this book for checkout at the Rust Library.
