In \u003ci\u003eRats\u003c\/i\u003e, the critically acclaimed bestseller, Robert Sullivan spends a year investigating a rat-infested alley just a few blocks away from Wall Street. Sullivan gets to know not just the beast but its friends and foes: the exterminators, the sanitation workers, the agitators and activists who have played their part in the centuries-old war between human city dweller and wild city rat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSullivan looks deep into the largely unrecorded history of the city and its masses-its herds-of-rats-like mob.
