Francisco Goldman

El Arte Del Asesinato Politico Francisco Goldman Spanish, 1st. edition

El 26 de abril de 1998, el obispo y coordinador de la Oficina de Derechos Humanos del Arzobispado de Guatemala, Juan Gerardi, fue asesinado a golpes. Solo habian pasado dos dias desde que presentara las mil seiscientas paginas del informe que documentaba las sistematicas violaciones de los derechos humanos cometidas por el ejercito de Guatemala en la lucha contra la insurgencia que, formalmente, habia terminado en 1996. Los heroes de este libro son los jovenes investigadores de la Oficina de Derechos Humanos del Arzobispado que investigaron por su cuenta el asesinato. Su trabajo de detectives condujo a un juicio historico, y a condenas mucho mas convincentes. / On April 26th, 1998, Juan Gerardo, the Bishop and coordinator of the Office of Human Rights of the Archbishopric of Guatemala was beaten to death. This was two days after he had presented a 1600 page report documenting the systematic violations of human rights committed by the Guatemalan army in the fight against insurgency. The investigation by government detectives was farcical, but the real heroes were the young investigators from the Archbishoprics Office of Human Rights, whose investigations led to a landmark trial and convincing sentences. Goldman is not only a magnificent writer but also a truthful detective (John Lee Anderson). Winner of the Censorships Freedom of Expression Prize.
