Lakhani's book meticulously unpicks a Gordian knot of corruption, impunity, and violence, to show how the struggle against the dam is deeply-rooted in historical power dynamics in Honduras. - Julia Zulver, openDemocracy Nina Lakhani is a brave reporter. She had to be. Since the coup in Honduras, 83 journalists have been killed; 21 were thrown in prison during the period when Lakhani was writing her book. She poses the question would we ever know who killed Berta Caceres? and sets out to answer it. - John Perry, Council on Hemispheric Affairs Who Killed Berta Caceres? offers the inside track on a case that is not only emblematic of the struggle for rights and representation in Honduras, but of the global battle for rights and the environment in the face of corrupt governments and irresponsible business. - Ben Leather, Global Witness Without a doubt, the most comprehensive account of the events which led up to and followed Caceres murder... It lays bare the facts of the Berta Caceres case and demands they are faced. In the long struggle against colonial extraction and systematic violence, Who Killed Berta Caceres? points to the rough road ahead. - Harry Holmes, Bright Green A powerful indictment of the Honduran justice system and peeling back the mask on how power operates in the country. - Alice Stevens, Dublin Review of Books
