The Art of Political Murder

Francisco Goldman investigates the 1998 murder of Guatemalan human-rights bishop Juan Gerardi, bludgeoned to death just two days after releasing a landmark report documenting military atrocities. The book exposes a brazen state cover-up and the courageous, endangered prosecution team that pursued justice against the armed forces amid relentless intimidation and impunity.
