Meer over het boek
"On January 12, 2010, the deadliest earthquake in the history of the Western Hemisphere struck the nation least prepared to handle it. In this visceral, authoritative first-hand account, Jonathan M. Katz chronicles the terror of that day, the devastation visited on ordinary Haitians, and how the world reacted to a nation in need. Tracing the broken promises, political intrigue, and the deadly cholera epidemic sparked by UN peacekeepers in the earthquake's aftermath, The Big Truck That Went By presents a sharp critique of international aid, uncovers startling truths about how good intentions go wrong, and shows what can be done to make aid 'smarter.'"--Back cover
