Author AARON GLANTZ leads a panel discussion at the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum about his book, The War Comes Home: Washington's Battle Against America's Veterans. Glantz covered the early years of the Iraq War as a journalist and knows firsthand what it's like to be on the front lines. Former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland has called Glantz's book "a must read for anyone who wants to make the phrase 'Support the Troops' more than just a slogan." A book signing will follow. Free. 7 p.m. 441 Freedom Parkway. 404-865-7100. www.jimmycarterlibrary.org. (Andy Nelson)
