Douglas Waller talk on Lincoln's Spies - Steve - 08-03-2019 03:46 PM
While looking for a review of this book for another thread (to replace a since paywalled review), I came across this event posted on the National Archives Calendar of Events, a Talk with Douglas Waller on Thursday, August 8, 2019 - 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Washington DC:

So if any of you are in Washington DC and the topic interests you, check the link above.

Veteran journalist.... with the state of journalism in today's media, I'm not so sure that is a favorable description.
Wikipedia indicates Mr Waller is a former correspondent for Time and Newsweek, two publications I usually do not care for.

Rob's post in the other thread reviewing the book (post no#3), doesn't make any more of a favorable description:

If I lived in the Washington DC area, I still might go to the talk and ask Waller a question about Congress and the rewards claims issue Rob brought up.
