Alumnus and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Taylor Branch will speak about his book The Clinton Tapes: Wrestling History with the President on Feb. 23 at UNC.
The free public program in Wilson Special Collections Library will begin at 5:45 p.m. after a reception at 5 p.m. For program information, contact Liza Terll of Friends of the Library at liza_terll@unc.edu or 962-4207.
The talk will be sponsored by the library’s Southern Historical Collection, where recordings and transcriptions that led to the book are held as part of the Taylor Branch Papers.
The Clinton Tapes, published last year by Simon & Schuster, rests upon White House interviews Branch conducted between 1993 and 2001 with President Bill Clinton at Clinton’s request. The conversations offered insight into the workings of the country’s highest office and the mind of the man who held that position for eight years.
