DESCRIPTION:Join the Green School for a book presentation and conversation 
 featuring To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause: The Many Lives of the Sovie
 t Dissident Movement by Dr. Benjamin Nathans\, who will be joined by histor
 ians Carlos Eire and Rebecca Friedman.\n\nBeginning in the 1960s\, the Sovi
 et Union was challenged by a dissident movement that captured the world’s i
 magination. Against all odds\, these courageous individuals undermined the 
 fearsome Soviet system and helped hasten its collapse three decades later. 
 Taking its title from a toast offered at dissident gatherings\, Dr. Nathans
 ’s book tells the story of a remarkable group of people whose moral courage
  helped change the world. Their activism inspired movements in other totali
 tarian regimes\, including Castro’s Cuba. Despite the island’s distance fro
 m the Soviet Union—geographically and culturally—the parallels between the 
 Soviet and Cuban dissident movements are striking. This event explores a po
 werful story of hope and the enduring supremacy of human dignity over tyran
 ny.
