Eric Reguly, European bureau chief for The Globe and Mail, will present his book on the life and work of his father, renowned war correspondent and investigative journalist Robert Reguly, and the impact his career had on their relationship. The senior Reguly reported on the Vietnam War from very close range and was deeply affected by the experience. Hard-hitting political coverage and investigations throughout his career also won him accolades for decades.
Eric Reguly, who is a long-time resident of Rome, was born in Vancouver and grew up in Toronto, Washington, D.C., and Italy. "Ghosts of War: Chasing My Father's Legend Through Vietnam" tells the story of father and son, both united and divided by journalism. Copies of this memoir will be available for purchase and signature. Eric will also tell us briefly about his most recent book on Gaza.
This talk and Q&A will be moderated by CCR friend Jeannie Marshall, another Canadian who has reported for numerous Canadian and international newspapers and sites.
