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 world's most troubled regions -- from 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.

A former staff writer for the New Yorker , Mark Danner contributes frequently to the New York Review of Books and the New York Times Magazine . The recipient of a National Magazine Award and a MacArthur Fellowship, he teaches at Berkeley and Bard College.
