Author and campaigner Mark Curtis will give a talk entitled 'Government Propaganda and the Reality of UK Foreign Policy' at the University.

Mark Curtis, historian and author of 'Unpeople' and 'Web of Deceit', will be coming to speak and answer questions at Nottingham University on Tue 18th Oct. The talk, entitled 'Government Propaganda and the Reality of UK Foreign Policy' will be at 5pm in the Portland Building, room B9. All are welcome, and the event is free.

Mark's a former research fellow of the Royal Institute of International Relations (Chatham House) and a former director of the World Development Movement. His most recent book attempts to construct the real goals of foreign policy from declassified Foreign Office documents, and how deception of the public is an integral part of it. He has also been highly critical of the role of BINGOs (big non-governmental organisations) in a recent article for New Internationalist.
