Scott Carney is an investigative journalist, anthropologist, and author of The New York Times bestseller What Doesn’t Kill Us. He spent six years living in South Asia as a contributing editor for Wired and writer for Mother Jones, NPR, Discover Magazine, Fast Company, Men’s Journal, and many other publications. His other books include The Red Market, The Enlightenment Trap and The Wedge. Co-written with Jason Miklian, Ph.D., The Vortex: A True Story of History’s Deadliest Storm, an Unspeakable War, and Liberation (Ecco) tells the dramatic story of how a storm sparked a country to a liberation war in what is now Bangladesh. In November 1970, a storm set a collision course with Earth’s most densely populated coastline, East Pakistan in the Bay of Bengal. In just a few hours, the Great Bhola Cyclone would kill 500,000 people and begin a chain reaction of turmoil, genocide, and war. Pakistan was then on the brink of a historic election. The fallout from the storm’s impact ignited a conflagration of political intrigue, corruption, violence, idealism, and bravery. In The Vortex, Carney and Miklian take us deep into the story, told through the eyes of the men and women who lived through it.
