Amazon Editors’ Pick: A Best History Book of MayA high-octane true-crime story,Bear Witnessfollows two Christians who refuse to let fear or conventional wisdom stand in the way of their altruistic mission.The vast majority of Hondurans would have never dared to set foot in Nueva Suyapa, a mountainside barrio that was under the thumb of a gang whose bravado and cruelty were the stuff of legend. But that is precisely where Kurt Ver Beek, an American sociologist, and Carlos Hernández, a Honduran schoolteacher, chose to raise their families. Kurt and Carlos were best friends who had committed their lives to helping the poor, and when they accepted that nobody else―not the police, not the prosecutors, not the NGOs―was ever going to protect their neighbors from the incessant violence they suffered, they decided to take matters into their own hands.In magnetic prose, journalist Ross Halperin chronicles how these two do-gooders became quasi-vigilantes and charged into a series of life-and-death battles, not just with this one gang, but also with forces far more dangerous, including a notorious tycoon who commanded about a thousand armed men and a police force whose wickedness defied credulity. Kurt and Carlos would eventually get catapulted from obscurity to being famous power players who had access to the backrooms where legislators, ambassadors, and presidents pulled strings. Their efforts made some of the most violent neighborhoods on earth safer and arguably improved a profoundly corrupt government. But they were forced to compromise their principles in order to make all that happen, and furthermore, they acquired a large number of outraged critics and precipitated some heartbreaking collateral damage.A remarkable and dangerous feat of reportage,Bear Witnessshows what happens when altruism, faith, and an obsession with justice are pushed to the extreme.
