Stripping Bare the Body: Politics, Violence, War – Mark Danner

An award winning journalist, who has reported from the world’s most troubled regions such as Latin America, Haiti, the Balkans and the Middle East, Mark Danner is more than controversial in his  Stripping Bare the Body: Politics, Violence, War, which has left many critics gasping for both air and words.

Stripping Bare the Body shows at close hand how terrorism works and how war looks and smells and feels. As a newly installed Haitian president told Mark Danner in riot-torn Port-au-Prince, ‘Violence strips bare a society’s body, the better to place the stethoscope and track the life beneath the skin.’ This stark truth came to haunt Danner, especially after the president was overthrown in a bloody coup d’etat.

Stripping Bare the Body: Politics, Violence, War moves from mass murder on election day in Port-au-Prince, to massacre by mortar bomb on the streets of Sarajevo, to suicide bombings in the suburbs of Baghdad, to torture in the secret ‘black site’ prisons of Thailand and Afghanistan, to political deal-making, personal rivalries and bureaucratic in-fighting in Washington and New York and Langley. Here is the vivid, unforgettable history of what Mark Danner calls a ‘grim age, still infused with the remnant perfume of imperial dreams.’
