Author of Your Whole Heart Solution
From Steve: I’m delighted to announce that this fall Abrams Press will publish my book on the history and science of fasting as well as my experiences with the practice. The book grew out of a cover story I wrote for Harper’s a decade ago—a long gestation that I hope has yielded a more complete and livelier chronicle of fasting than has ever been told. In addition to the North American hardback, there will also be an audiobook, a UK edition, and a Spanish edition. For more information, click here.
The Unquiet Grave
The true saga of how the FBI sabotaged the Indian rights movement of the 1970s and how the battered movement consumed itself.
One of the 100 best books of 2006.
Publishers Weekly
Investigative journalism at its gutsiest, at its noblest . . . Must reading.

A Kidnapping in Milan
The CIA’s brazen abduction of a radical imam off the streets of Milan and the struggle of an Italian magistrate to bring the American kidnappers to trial.
[A] real-life thriller . . . skillfully crafted, highly disturbing.
Chicago Tribune
One of those rarities: an important story, excellently told.
