The Other Wes Moore left its Baltimore author on the eve of his departure for Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. In his new book, Moore recounts the lessons learned from travel and study, from the battlefields of Afghanistan, the Bush White House, the first Obama presidential campaign—and even a stint in Wall Street banking. As his experiences teach him to think of work as a kind of mission, Moore completes the circle, returning to Baltimore where he applies his wisdom and compassion to effecting lasting change.

Join us for a reading group discussion of The Other Wes Moore by Wes Moore!

Two kids named Wes Moore were born blocks apart within a year of each other. Both grew up fatherless in similar Baltimore neighborhoods; both hung out on street corners with their crews; both ran into trouble with the police. How, then, did one grow up to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader, while the other ended up a convicted murderer serving a life sentence? Wes Moore, the author of this fascinating book, sets out to answer this profound question.
