Just World Books was established in 2010 as a small, independent publishing house with the aim of expanding the range of public discourse on foreign affairs. Just World Books publishes the writing of established and emerging authors turning out the best thinking on key foreign policy issues impacting peoples lives, from the Mideast peace process to the rise of China.
Utilizing print-on-demand technology, Just World Books brings author manuscripts to press in just three months, offering ’Timely Books for Changing Times.’. This fall, Just World Books will be printing titles by four distinct authors:
Chas Freeman Jr.: A veteran diplomat and author with extensive experience in defense and intelligence.
Laila El-Haddad: A blogger and mother coping with the daily struggles of life in Gaza
Joshua Foust: A seasoned blogger and Afghan-affairs specialist, a regular contributor to Registan.net
Reidar Vissar: Probably the English-speaking world’s greatest expert on internal Iraqi politics
In the first half, Amb. Freeman talks about the current round of peace talks, which he describes as a "fraud". In the second half, he talks about his upcoming book, "America's Misadventures in the Middle East", coming out from Just World Books in early October.
As electric generators buzz in the background, Just World Books author Laila El-Haddad shares her experience overcoming everyday obstacles in Gaza with JWB founder Helena Cobban. From frequent power failures to a dearth of fresh produce, she explains how she is coping after her recent return to her family there and talks about her first book, "Gaza Mom: Palestine, Politics, Parenting, and Everything In Between," to be published on October 14, 2010.
Just World Books founder and veteran journalist Helena Cobban talks about what led her to establish this new and innovative company and the bold lineup and foreign policy thinkers who will share their thoughts and analysis in Just World Book titles this fall.
