Robert Sullivan turns the lowly rat into the star of this most perversely intriguing, remarkable, and unexpectedly elegant  New York Times  bestseller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLove them or loathe them, rats are here to stay-they are city dwellers as much as (or more than) we are, surviving on the effluvia of our society. In  Rats , 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSullivan looks deep into the largely unrecorded history of the city and its masses-its herds-of-rats-like mob.
