In May 2012 I was doing a review at my local library of the book entitled
The Execution of Charles Horman: An American Sacrifice, by Thomas Hauser. The book was originally published in 1978. Several years later, it formed the basis of the award-winning motion picture
Missing, directed by Costa-Gavras and starring Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek.
Although I hadn't tried blogging in several years, I thought maybe this would be the best way to share access to more information to anyone attending the book review who might want to look into it a little deeper.
An audio recording of the book review can found at

I was at dinner with five Mexican friends on a tiny island at the southern tip of Oaxaca called Chacahua. Each casually recounted the murder or kidnapping of a family member or close friend. It took every voice at that table to shatter my American numbness. I hope David Nelson's blog and the research, movies and books it leads you to does the same. D.
