Canadian Journalist and Military Analyst Gwynne Dyer revisits UOIT as part of distinguished lecture series
February 10, 2006
OSHAWA, Ont. - Back by popular demand, renowned Canadian Journalist, Military Analyst and Syndicated Columnist Gwynne Dyer makes a return visit to the University of Ontario Institute of Technology as part of the Faculty of Social Science distinguished lecture series.
"Four years after 9/11, the whole global agenda seems to have been hijacked by terrorism-and yet the actual 'terrorist threat' is very small. So why do we hear so much about the terrorist threat and what is the United States really up to? We are in trouble, but not because of terrorism." Find out why by joining students and faculty on Friday, February 10 for this powerful and insightful lecture.
Dyer's lecture will draw upon his controversial new book on journalism entitled: With Every Mistake, as well as his other recent bestselling books including Back to the Great Game, Ignorant Armies (March 2003) and Future: Tense (October 2004).
Best known for his academy award-nominated documentary television series War, which was broadcast in over 45 countries, Dyer has worked as a freelance journalist, broadcaster and lecturer for over 30 years. His syndicated columns on international affairs have appeared in a dozen languages in nearly 200 newspapers published in more than 40 countries around the world. Dyer received his PhD in Military and Middle Eastern History from the University of London. In addition to serving in the Canadian, American and British navies, he taught military history and war studies for six years.
