To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause: Benjamin Nathans & Jennifer Wilson

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Benjamin Nathans to celebrate the release of his newest book, To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause: a gripping history of the Soviet dissident movement, which hastened the end of the USSR — and still provides a model of opposition in Putin’s Russia

Benjamin will be joined in conversation by Jennifer Wilson, contributing writer to The New Yorker. After the discussion and Q&A, Benjamin will be signing copies of To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause.
