I spent seven years interviewing Carlos Hernández, Kurt Ver Beek, their families, their staff at ASJ, and many, many other people in Honduras. This is Carlos reacting to reading my book Bear Witness for the very first time.

Excited to announce that I’ll be doing an event at Book Soup in LA, on July 12 at 4pm, with @amywilentz.bsky.social, a journalist I’ve long admired—her excellent book about Haiti, Farewell, Fred Voodoo, won a National Book Critics Circle Award.

@davidgrann.bsky.social on my book Bear Witness, which is about two Christian do-gooders who took on gangs, crooked cops, and corrupt politicians in Honduras.
