"On January 12, 2010, the deadliest earthquake in the history of the Western Hemisphere struck the nation least prepared to handle it. In this visceral, authoritative first-hand account, Jonathan M. Katz chronicles the terror of that day, the devastation visited on ordinary Haitians, and how the world reacted to a nation in need. Tracing the broken promises, political intrigue, and the deadly cholera epidemic sparked by UN peacekeepers in the earthquake's aftermath, The Big Truck That Went By presents a sharp critique of international aid, uncovers startling truths about how good intentions go wrong, and shows what can be done to make aid 'smarter.'"--Back cover
