Who: Ambassador L. Paul Bremer, III, Presidential Envoy to Iraq and
Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq,

Event: What happened in Iraq during the U.S. Coalition's first year
after military victory over Saddam Hussein? In 2003, Paul Bremer was
sent to post-war Baghdad as "pro-consul" to restore Iraq's economy,
build an open democratic political system and deal with mounting
security threats. In his new book, My Year in Iraq, Ambassador Bremer
describes the devastation, the chaos, and the violence that he
encountered. Ambassador Bremer will address the challenges of
rebuilding Iraq and discuss the immense stakes involved in this war
and this troubled region.
