For the past two decades, Mark Danner has reported from Latin America, Haiti, the Balkans, and the Middle East. His perceptive, award-winning dispatches have not only explored the real consequences of American engagement with the world, but also the relationship between political violence and power. In
Stripping Bare the Body, Danner brings together his best reporting from the worldâs most troubled regionsâfrom the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship in Haiti to the tumultuous rise of Aristide; from the onset of the Balkan Wars to the painful fragmentation of Yugoslavia; and finally to the disastrous invasion of Iraq and the radical, destructive legacy of the Bush administration.
At a time when American imperial power is in decline, there has never been a more compelling moment to read these urgent, fiercely intelligent reports.
