Book Tour Details:
Washington, D.C. New York, NY Join award-winning writer Mark Danner as he discusses his groundbreaking new book, Stripping Bare the Body: Politics Violence War (Nation Books). Danner will be interviewed by investigative journalist Amy Goodman, co-founder and host of Democracy Now! Drawing on accounts of politics, violence, and war from around the world, Stripping Bare the Body is a moral history of American power during the last quarter century. Moving from bloody battlegrounds and dark prison cells to air-conditioned offices, the book recounts how the United States passed from the Cold War’s violent certainties through the ideological confusions of the post-Cold War world into the ongoing fanatical evangelism of the War on Terror and the Iraq War. The grim and compelling narrative tells the tale of the final years of the American Century and the wreckage it has left in its wake. The conversation will be followed by audience questions and a book signing. Seattle-Tacoma, WA For the past two decades, author and award-winning journalist Mark Danner has reported from Latin America, Haiti, the Balkans and the Middle East, exploring not only the real consequences of American engagement with the world, but also the relationship between political violence and power. 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 to the invasion of Iraq and the legacy of the Bush administration, Danner, former staff writer at The New Yorker and author of Stripping Bare the Body, has visited some of the world's most troubled regions, bringing back lessons on politics, violence, and war.

The Great American StickupHow Reagan Republicans and Clinton Democrats Enriched Wall Street While Mugging Main Street
"One of the best reporters of our time."—Joan Didion In The Great American Stickup, celebrated journalist Robert Scheer uncovers the hidden story behind one of the greatest financial crimes of our time: the Wall Street financial crash of 2008 and the consequent global recession. Scheer goes back to Washington, D.C., a veritable crime scene, beginning in the 1980s, where the captains of the finance industry, their lobbyists and allies among leading politicians destroyed an American regulatory system that had been functioning effectively since the era of the New Deal. Check out Scheer's book tour!
