Book Cover:  Stripping Bare the Body: Politics, Violence, War
By Mark Danner

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...
