Para conocer esta historia desde su interior, el prestigioso periodista Juan Martínez d'Aubuisson investigó por más de 10 años las causas que provocaron que San Pedro Sula, Honduras, se transformara en una de las ciudades más homicidas del mundo.

Vivió en barrios feroces, entrevistó en prisión a los líderes de las maras, atestiguó disputas por territorios y acompañó a una de las caravanas hondureñas hasta México. Su compromiso puso en riesgo su vida, pero solo así fue capaz de describir el dolor de una comunidad rota que resiste con ira y, al mismo tiempo, desafiar sus propios límites como periodista al exponerse a la violencia en su estado puro.

La narración se remonta a la llegada de las voraces bananeras a finales del siglo XIX, que despojaron de su riqueza a los países centroamericanos, poniendo y quitando dictadores; a la instalación de las maquilas a mediados de los años 70, lo que aumentó las crisis; y al nacimiento de las pandillas más letales y con mayor influencia internacional: Mara Salvatrucha 13 y Barrio 18, maras que hasta hoy siguen disputándose con extrema violencia el control de calles, cárceles y el destino de las personas.

«Intensa, musculosa, cargada de detalles y sensaciones, de una franqueza extraordinaria, sin concesiones». --Fernanda Melchor


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


To understand this story from within, esteemed journalist Juan Martínez d'Aubuisson spent more than 10 years investigating the causes that turned San Pedro Sula, Honduras, into one of the most homicidal cities in the world.

He lived in dangerous neighborhoods, interviewed gang leaders in prison, witnessed territorial disputes, and accompanied one of the Honduran caravans to Mexico. His commitment put his life at risk, but only by doing so was he able to depict the pain of a fractured community that resists with rage--while also challenging his own limits as a journalist by exposing himself to pure violence.

The narrative traces back to the arrival of aggressive banana companies in the late 19th century, which stripped Central American countries of their wealth, placing and removing dictators; to the establishment of maquiladoras in the mid-1970s, which deepened the crisis; and to the emergence of the most lethal and internationally influential gangs: Mara Salvatrucha 13 and Barrio 18--gangs that, to this day, continue to violently fight for control over streets, prisons, and people's fates.

"Intense, powerful, rich in detail and sensations, extraordinarily frank, without concessions." --Fernanda Melchor

Read it to ok for 9 year old
Format: Kindle
I heard about this series and wanted to see if it would be up her alley. I downloaded this book to read before bed and now it's the middle of the night. I ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the book. I'm a woman in my 40's and it was a great read for me! I know my daughter will really enjoy it. She struggles with her vocabulary so I've been selecting and pre-reading books and gathering words I know she will be challenged by. Then I make those her spelling words for the week and use the words in sentences 100k times until she knows them. Doing that has really improved her reading experience and helps her flow through the book easier and enjoy it far more. Great book.

USS Indy 500
Format: Kindle
Very good book. Super interesting and great articulation for a young reader. Very captivating and very inspiring. I’ve read escaped prison island aswell (check it out) and Scott peters and Ellie Crowe are really good authors! Definite read and I love how they tied in ww2 to something you would have never associated a shark story with. Learned a lot thx.

Freedom isnt free
Format: Kindle
This is an unbelievable story. Of course I had known of the USS Indianapolis and the shark attack, but never had I actually listened to a first hand account. How terrified these men had to have been. Its beyond comprehension really. The sacrifice, bravery and fortitude humbles me. Thank you to all who serve.

Best way to explore Paris
Format: Paperback
This book is awesome! I enjoyed reading it just as much as my kids did! I love the layout and the way that the book assigns the kids to be secret agents, but defers to the case officers (parents) for the final say. We were in Paris for 1 week and although the weather was less than cooperative, we were able to capture our 100 points and award our 4yo and 7yo their secret agent certificates. I love the fact that you can work on this book in any order and do as little or as much as you want at each attraction. The price was awesome and worth every penny. My 7yo particularly enjoyed the challenges at the Musee D'Orsay and the Louvre and it was a great way to keep those visits focused and entertaining for the kids. My 4yo was a little young to stay engaged with every "mission", but the activities were easy enough that she could help (ex. finding a winter scene in the Musee D'Orsay). I loved that this book engaged the kids but didn't detract from any of our visits (we didn't feel like we had to go "out of our way" to find anything). The only disappointment was that they didn't include Versailles and Sainte Chappelle. I have not only recommended this book to all my of friends traveling to Paris (honestly with or without kids), but I have also already purchased the similar books for London, New York, and Washington DC. Can't wait to see what other cities they add!
