Описание книги

Worldwide, nearly three-quarters of journalists who die on assignment are targeted and assassinated for their dogged pursuit of important stories of injustice. In Marked for Death, Terry Gould brings this statistic to life by documenting the lives of seven journalists, in Colombia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Russia, and Iraq, who had the guts to keep telling the truth in the face of threats from terrorists, corrupt politicians, gangsters, and paramilitary leaders.Gould brings us the lovers, colleagues, rivals, critics, and even the accused murderers of these courageous men and women, searching for the moment in which these journalists understood that they were willing to die in order to get a story out.Their compelling stories highlight how selflessly humans can love justice and their fellow citizens; how dogged and resourceful people can be in attempts to thwart injustice; how vital it is to show the defeated and the indifferent, as well as the powerful; and that there really are some things worth dying for.

Guillermo said he was an investigator of economic corruption, he had a radio show, too—he exposed the corruption of the dangerous Opitas Mafia. He explained to us the power structure of Huila, the tentacles of power. All of it concerned topics I’d never heard before or cared about. I was raised by nuns, I never questioned anything socially and I grew up always having everything I needed. But I can say from that moment on, my life started changing. From that night, he began to raise my consciousness to the dark forces he fought, and we soon became lovers. Four months later I told my husband, ‘I’m in love with another man.’ Then Guillermo and I moved to a rented place together with my daughter.”

“Did you get divorced?” I asked.
