Dr. Terry Lautz will discuss his new book John Birch: A Life at the University of Colorado Boulder's Center for Asian Studies.

John Birch was better known in death than life. Shot and killed by Communists in China in 1945, he posthumously became the namesake for a right-wing organization whose influence is still visible in today's Tea Party. Dr. Lautz is Trustee and Director of the Harvard Yenching Institute and Visiting Professor at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University.
