WHERE: Tishman Auditorium at The New School 66 West 12th Street, (Between 5th and 6th Ave) New York, NY
DESCRIPTION: Nation Books, The New York Review of Books and Democracy Now present: An Evening with Mark Danner and Amy Goodman

Join award-winning writer Mark Danner as he discusses his new groundbreaking book Stripping Bare the Body: Politics Violence War (Nation Books). Danner will be interviewed by investigative journalist Amy Goodman, host and co-founder 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 discussion will be followed by audience questions and a book signing.
