Road Work brings together bestselling author Mark Bowden’s journalism 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 portrait of Saddam Hussein’s terrifying governance of Iraq; ‘The Dark Art of Interrogation’, a unique investigation into the methods used to extract information from Al Qaeda suspects (and others); and ‘Intifadah’, a previously unpublished account of a month spent on the West Bank, Gaza and Israel during the .rst Palestinian uprising. Taken together, they con.rm Mark Bowden’s reputation as perhaps the most incisive and readable investigative journalist currently writing in English.
