We're having an event in San Francisco for our author, Mark Danner, whose latest book, Stripping Bare the Body: Politics Violence War (Nation Books) was just released in October. It will be on Friday, November 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Booksmith Bookstore.
About the book:
Drawing on rich narratives of politics and violence and war from around the world and written by one of the world's leading writers, Stripping Bare the Body is a moral history of American power during the last quarter century. From bloody battleground to dark prison cell to air-conditioned office, it tells the grim and compelling tale of the true final years of the American Century, as the United States passed from the violent certainties of the late Cold War, to the ideological confusions of the post-Cold War world, to the pumped up and ongoing evangelism of the War on Terror and the Iraq War, and the ruins they have left behind.
