Anthony Lukas Book PrizeFinalist, New York Public Library Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in JournalismOne of the best books of the year according to Amazon, Slate, The Christian Science Monitor & Kirkus Reviews, and a Barnes & Noble 'Discover Great New Writers' BookPublished to glowing reviews, The Big Truck That Went By is a crucial look at a signal failure of international aid.Jonathan M. Katz was the only fulltime American news correspondent in Haiti on January 12, 2010, when the deadliest earthquake in the history of the Western Hemisphere struck the island nation. In this visceral firsthand account, Katz takes readers inside the terror of that day, the devastation visited on ordinary Haitians, and through the monumentalyet misbegottenrescue effort that followed.More than half of American adults gave money for Haiti, part of a global response totaling $16.3 billion in pledges. But four years later the effort has foundered. Its most important promisesto rebuild safer cities, alleviate severe poverty, and strengthen Haiti to face future disastersremain unfulfilled. How did so much generosity amount to so little? What went wrong? In what a Miami Herald OpEd called 'the most important written work to emerge from the rubble,' Katz follows the money to uncover startling truths about how good intentions go wrong, and what can be done to make aid 'smarter.' Reporting alongside Bill Clinton, Wyclef Jean, Sean Penn, and Haiti's leaders and people, Katz creates a complex, darkly funny, and unexpected portrait of one of the world's most fascinating countries. The Big Truck That Went By is not only a definitive account of Haiti's earthquake, but of the world we live in today.
