Archie Brown has had a busy speaking schedule since the recent publication of his book, The Rise and Fall of Communism (Bodley Head, London; Ecco, New York; and Doubleday, Toronto).

Archie Brown gave talks and radio interviews in The Hague and Antwerp in early October when the book was published in Dutch translation and a talk at the Civita think-tank in Oslo at the end of that month. In the first half of November he addressed the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, a televised meeting at the Pritzker Military Library in Chicago, and the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. He also gave lectures, explaining the fall of Communism in 1989, at SAIS (Washington, DC), Columbia University (New York), Harvard and Yale. The book, which already exists in German as well as Dutch editions, is now being translated into Japanese, Portuguese and Hebrew. Professor Brown has additionally given interviews in November for the BBC, ABC (Australia) and CBC (Canada) as well as for Australian and Canadian newspapers.
