He was formerly a contributing editor at Conde Nast Portfolio, where, among other things, he wrote about the Unification Church’s gun business,[3] Iran sanction busting, and corruption in Iraq. His story about Iraq's top cop [4] was at the center of a Congressional inquiry into fraud and waste.[5]

He is the author of Hunting the Tiger, a definitive portrait of one of the Balkans most dangerous men during the region's wars in the 1990s.[6] His second book, Jungleland, is about a lost city in Central America and an American spy who claimed that he'd found it.[7]
