'Road Work' brings together bestselling author Mark Bowden's shorter pieces into one brilliant collection. It includes an enthralling account of how a vast corruption ring inside the Philadelphia Police Department was broken; 'Tales of the Tyrant', a definitive portrait of Saddam Hussein's terrifying governance of Iraq; 'The Dark Art of Interrogation', a shocking expose of the methods used to extract information from Al-Qaeda suspects (and others); and 'Intifadah', a previously unpublished account of a month spent on the West Bank, Gaza and Israel during the first Palestinian uprising. Taken together, they confirm Mark Bowden's reputation as perhaps the most incisive and riveting investigative journalist currently writing in English.
