Event Photos: George Jonas launches book with a little help from Conrad Black – UPDATED

Conrad Black speaking

George Jonas launched Reflections on Islam (Key Porter Books) at the University of Toronto’s Massey College with a little help from Conrad Black and Barbara Amiel, who made a surprise visit from Chicago.

Black noted that the reception he received from the attendees was warmer than he was used to over the past few weeks. In his introduction, he also said that knowing Jonas was one of the side-benefits of marrying Barbara Amiel (Jonas’s ex-wife).

UPDATE: Below, exclusive video of Conrad Black introducing George Jonas. (Warning: the sound is terrible.) “On the subject of Islam,” says Black, “I must admit that I hadn’t recognized that [Jonas] actually knew much about it…”
