Summary:
"On March 24, 1980, the
assassination
of El Salvador's Archbishop
Óscar
Romero
rocked that nation and the world. Despite the efforts of many in El Salvador and beyond, those responsible for
Romero
's
murder
were never punished for their heinous crime. '
Assassination
of a
saint
' is the thrilling story of an international team of lawyers, private investigators, and human-rights experts that fought to
bring
justice
for the slain hero. Matt Eisenbrandt, a young lawyer who was part of the investigative team, recounts in this gripping narrative how he and his colleagues interviewed eyewitnesses and former members of death squads while searching for evidence on those who financed them. As they worked towards the only court verdict ever reached for the martyred archbishop's
murder
, they uncovered information with profound implications for El Salvador and the United States to this day."--From publisher.
