Francisco Goldman, author and journalist

In Francisco Goldman’s first nonfiction book, The Art of Political Murder: Who Killed the Bishop?, he tells the story of the murder of Guatemala’s leading human rights activist, Bishop Juan Gerardi. Bishop Gerardi was murdered two days after he had presided over the publication of an unprecedented human rights report that found the Guatemalan Army primarily responsible for the war-time deaths and disappearances of 200,000 civilians. The murder case resulted in the first ever trial and conviction of Guatemalan military officers for participating in a politically motivated extrajudicial assassination.
