Physics at Large Rapidities in $\gamma^{*}\gamma^{*} \to$ Hadrons at LEP2

We compute the order-$\as$ corrections to the total cross section and to jet rates in $\gamma^* \gamma^* \to$ hadrons for the process $\epem\to\epem +$ hadrons. We use a NLO order general-purpose partonic Monte Carlo event generator that allows the computation of a rate differential in the produced leptons and hadrons. We compare our results with the experimental data for $\epem\to\epem +$ hadrons at LEP2.
