Background and education The New York Review of
Books
Danner was born at Utica, New York. He attended Website markdanner.com (http://markd
Utica Free Academy, a public high school, and then anner.com)
Harvard, where he graduated, magna cum laude, with a
degree in modern literature and aesthetics in 1981.[4] At Harvard, he studied with Stanley Cavell, Robert
Kiely, Stanley Hoffmann, and Frank Kermode, who in 1977-78 was the Charles Eliot Norton Lecturer
and became Danner's mentor and friend.

Career

Early years
After leaving Harvard, Danner joined the staff of The New York Review of Books, where he worked as an
assistant to editor Robert B. Silvers from 1981 to 1984.[5] In 1984, he moved to Harper's Magazine as a
senior editor. In 1986, he joined The New York Times Magazine, where he specialized in foreign affairs
and politics, writing pieces about nuclear weapons and about the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship in Haiti,
among other stories.

The New Yorker and El Mozote

In 1990, Danner joined the staff of The New Yorker shortly after the magazine published his three-part
series on Haiti, "A Reporter at Large: Beyond the Mountains".

On December 6, 1993, for only the second time in its history, The New Yorker devoted its entire issue to
one article, Danner's piece, "The Truth of El Mozote", an investigation into the El Mozote massacre in El
Salvador, thought to be one of the worst atrocities in modern Latin American history. The Mozote article
became the basis for Danner's first book, The Massacre at El Mozote: A Parable of the Cold War, which
was published in 1994. The New York Times Book Review recognized The Massacre at El Mozote as one
of its "Notable Books of the Year."[6]

The Balkans and The New York Review of Books

During the mid-1990s Danner began reporting on the wars in the Balkans, writing a series of eleven
extended articles for The New York Review of Books, which began with Danner's cover piece, "The US
and the Yugoslav Catastrophe" (November 20, 1997) and concluded with "Kosovo: The Meaning of
Victory", (July 15, 1999).[7]

His 16,000-word essay, "Marooned in the Cold War: America, the Alliance and the Quest for a Vanished
World," which appeared in World Policy Journal (Fall 1997) provoked a prolonged exchange of letters
and responses from Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke, Deputy Secretary of State Strobe
Talbott, Congressman Lee H. Hamilton, and Ambassador George F. Kennan.

Iraq and the War on Terror

Danner began writing about the war on terror soon after September 11, 2001, publishing "The Battlefield
in the American Mind" in The New York Times in October of that year. He began speaking out against
invading Iraq, notably in a series of debates with Christopher Hitchens, Leon Wieseltier, Michael
Ignatieff, David Frum, William Kristol and others.[8] He reported from Iraq for The New York Review of
Books in a series of lengthy dispatches including "Iraq: How Not to Win a War" (September 25, 2003),
"Delusions in Baghdad" (February 12, 2004), and "The War of the Imagination" (December 21, 2006).
In May 2005 Danner wrote an essay for The New York Review accompanying the first American
publication of the so-called "Downing Street Memo", the leaked minutes of a July 2002 meeting of high-
level British officials that confirmed that when it came to the debate over whether to go to war in Iraq,
"the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy," and that the invasion of Iraq was in fact a
foregone conclusion. The essay provoked a number of responses and led to two subsequent essays, all of
which were collected, along with relevant documents and a preface by The New York Times columnist
Frank Rich, in 2006 in The Secret Way to War: the Downing Street Memo and the Iraq War's Buried
History.

In October 2016, Brian Lamb sat down with Mark Danner to talk about his latest book, Spiral: Trapped
in the Forever War, which looks at the 15-year U.S. war on terrorism. The interviewed aired on C-SPAN
on Oct. 27, 2016.[9]

Torture and Abu Ghraib

Beginning in the spring of 2004, he wrote a series of essays for The New York Review of Books on the
emerging torture scandal that came to be known as Abu Ghraib. In October 2004, he collected these
essays and gathered them, together with a series of government documents and reports, into his book,
Torture and Truth: America, Abu Ghraib and the War on Terror.

In March 2009, Danner published an essay in The New York Review, "US Torture: Voices from the Black
Sites", which revealed the contents of a secret International Committee of the Red Cross report based on
testimony from "high-value detainees" in the "War on Terror," who had been captured, held, and
interrogated at secret US prisons—the so-called "black sites". Shortly thereafter, he published a second
essay, "The Red Cross Report: What it Means" and released the full text of the report on The New York
Review website. Weeks later, President Obama ordered released four Justice Department memos in which
the Bush administration purported "to legalize torture." Senior Obama officials Rahm Emanuel and David
Axelrod claimed publicly that the memos' release was prompted by publication of the Red Cross
Report.[10]

Mark Danner On Donald Trump

In the spring of 2016, Danner began covering the 2016 general election for The New York Review of
Books, profiling then Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump on his campaign trail. In May,
The New York Review of Books published "The Magic of Donald Trump,"[11] and on Dec. 22, the
magazine published "The Real Trump."[12]

Following the articles, Danner has appeared as a guest on multiple radio shows, including WNUR
89.3FM Chicago's "This is Hell!"[13] and KALW 91.5FM San Francisco's "Your Call",[14] to discuss
Trump's presidency. He also has sat down with Bard President Leon Botstein twice to discuss President
Donald Trump's first days in office and his approach to foreign and domestic policy.[15][16][17]

In March 2017, The New York Review of Books published Danner's "What Could He Do?," which
chronicles Trump's first days in office.[18]

Mark continued his coverage Donald Trump in the 2020 election. In October 2020, The New York
Review of Books published Danner's "The Con He Rode In On," outlining the fallacies and damage of
the Trump Presidency and campaign.[19] After the 2020 election, Danner attended the Trump rally at the
White House ellipse on January 6, marching to the U.S. Capitol, and reported on it in his piece "Be Ready
to Fight".[20] "The Slow-Motion Coup," the first in a series of essays on January 6 and Donald Trump,
appeared in the New York Review of Books.[21]
