Summary |
Arce shares his experiences--in a series of dispatches--as a journalist reporting on the violent streets of Honduras: from earnest conversations with narcos, taxi drivers and soldiers, to exposés of state corruption and accounts of the aftermath of violence. The author shines a light on the suffering and stoicism of the Honduran people, and asks the international community if there is more that they can do. --Adapted from publisher description. |
