Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc, 2007. First edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. Inscriptiong signed by both authors.. Glued binding. Paper over boards. xi, [1], 308 p. Notes. Index. From Wikipedia: "Douglas Farah is an American journalist, author and national security consultant. Farah served as United Press International bureau chief in El Salvador from 1985 to 1987, and a freelance journalist for the Washington Post, Newsweek and other publications until being hired as a staff correspondent for the Washington Post in 1992. While working for the Post, Farah served as bureau chief of Central American and the Caribbean until 1997, international investigative reporter between 1998 and 2000, and of West Africa between 2000 and 2003. He left the Post in 2004, and has since authored two books and served as a contributor to peer reviewed publications such as the Journal for International Affairs and analysis pieces for Foreign Policy and CSIS. Farah was born on July 22, 1957 and spent his childhood travelling the world with his missionary parents. He graduated from high school in 1974 from the American Cooperative School in La Paz. After travelling around Latin America and working odd jobs, Farah began attending the University of Kansas in 1980. He graduated in 1985 with a B.A. in Latin American Studies and a B.S. in Journalism. During this time he worked for United Press International, and upon graduation he was named UPI bureau chief in El Salvador, a position he held until 1987. In El Salvador his reporting covered the civil war and human rights atrocities, including coverage of right wing death squad activities and the 1989 murder of six Jesuit priests. Other reporting included the use of political amnesty to free the Salvadorian murderers of US nationals, the political gamesmanship of Salvadorian president Jose Duarte, the extortion of the country's high ranking civil servants, natural disasters in the region, such as earthquakes, and the expulsion of foreign nationals from the country. In 1988 Farah was the recipient of the Sigma Delta Chi Distinguished Service Award for Foreign Correspondence, for a series of articles he wrote on death squads in El Salvador for the Washington Post. He also moved to Colombia on contract with the Post to report on the drug wars in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia specifically the period of influence for Pablo Escobar. In 1992, after serving as a freelance reporter for several newspapers, Farah became a foreign affairs correspondent for the Washington Post. Soon afterwards he became the bureau chief for Central American and the Caribbean until 1997. In 2000 he was again named bureau chief, this time as chief of West Africa, a position he held until 2003. He reported on many different international affairs issues and civil war conflicts, including the economic reforms in Cuba, the inflation of extreme corruption among public officials as well as the civil war in Sierre Leone, the military dictatorship in Haiti, the Aristide and Preval era in Haiti, dictator Charles Taylor and his ties in the blood diamond trade to al Qaeda terrorists, American sanctions against Libya, US military involvement in Colombia, and Russian organized crime. Farah left the Post in 2004. Farah is an occasional contributor to Foreign Policy, covering issues including Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Muammar Gaddafi in Libya. He was also a contributor to the Counterterrorism Blog between 2005 and 2011. Farah published articles in Prism and at the end of 2012 Farah published the article Central American Gangs: Changing Nature and New Partners in the Winter 2012 issue of the Journal of International Affairs. In terms of longer works, upon leaving the Post in 2004 Farah published the book Blood from Stones: The Secret Financial Network of Terror, based upon the stories he broke regarding the ties between al-Qaeda and West African blood diamonds. The book also covered the story of how Farah had to leave the region due to death-threats and was welcomed back to America by a CIA embarrassed by the fact they knew nothing of his discovery. The book explains how the revelation of international affairs., John Wiley & Sons, Inc, 2007, 3<

Praise for "Merchant of Death" "A riveting investigation of the world's most notorious arms dealer--a page-turner that digs deep into the amazing, murky story of Viktor Bout. Farah and Braun have exposed the inner workings of one of the world's most secretive businesses--the international arms trade." --Peter L. Bergen, author of "The Osama bin Laden I Know" "Viktor Bout is like Osama bin Laden: a major target of U.S. intelligence officials who time and again gets away. Farah and Braun have skillfully documented how this notorious arms dealer has stoked violence around the world and thwarted international sanctions. Even more appalling, they show how Bout ended up getting millions of dollars in U.S. government money to assist the war in Iraq. A truly impressive piece of investigative reporting." --Michael Isikoff, coauthor of "Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War" "Douglas Farah and Stephen Braun are two of the toughest investigative reporters in the country. This is an important book about a hidden world of gunrunning and profiteering in some of the world's poorest countries." --Steve Coll, author of "Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001" "In "Merchant of Death," two of America's finest reporters have performed a major public service, turning over the right rocks that reveal the brutal international arms business at the dawn of the twenty-first century. In Viktor Bout, they have given us a new Lord of War, a man who knows no side but his own, and who has a knack for turning up in every war zone just in time to turn a profit. As Farah and Braun uncover and document his troubling role in the Bush Administration's Global War on Terror, his ties to Washington almost seem inevitable." --James Risen, author of "State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration" "An extraordinary and timely piece of investigative reporting, Merchant of Death is also a vividly compelling read. The true story of Viktor Bout, a sociopathic Russian gunrunner who has supplied weapons for use in some of the most gruesome conflicts of modern times--and who can count amongst his clients both the former Taliban regime in Afghanistan and the U.S. military in Iraq--is a stomach-churning indictment of the policy failures and moral contradictions of the world's most powerful governments, including that of the United States." --Jon Lee Anderson, author of "The Fall of Baghdad" Two respected journalists tell the incredible story of Viktor Bout, the Russian weapons supplier whose global network has changed the way modern warfare is fought. Bout's vast enterprise of guns, planes, and money has fueled internecine slaughter in Africa and aided both militant Islamic fanatics in Afghanistan and the American military in Iraq. This book combines spy thrills with crucial insights on the shortcomings of a U.S. foreign policy that fails to confront the lucrative and lethal arms trade that erodes global security.
