George Galloway is Respect party MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in East London. He recently electrified the U. S. with his appearance at a Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations hearing on May 17, when he turned the proceedings into a condemnation of the war in Iraq. CNN's Wolf Blitzer described Galloway's speech in the Senate as "a blistering attack on U. S. senators rarely heard" in Washington. His new book, out in September, is Mr. Galloway Goes to Washington (The New Press)
Christopher Hitchens is a widely published polemicist and frequent radio and TV commentator. He is the author of A Long Short War, Why Orwell Matters, The Trial of Henry Kissinger, and many other books.
He is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair. The London Observer calls him "One of the most brilliant journalists of our time."
Two years after the invasion of Iraq, Galloway and Hitchens will debate the causes and consequences of the war. Both will be signing books after the debate.
