Reseña

Only my mom!

Chronicle of a tragedy.

Is a visceral and moving chronicle that recounts the fateful La Penca attack, which occurred on May 30, 1984, at a press conference on the border between Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
In it, José Rodolfo Ibarra Bogarín narrates in first person one of the darkest episodes in world journalism: the La Penca attack.
This shocking story immerses us in the heartbreaking experience of a journalist who, after surviving an explosion in the middle of a press conference, faces the difficult task of reconstructing the events while dealing with his own physical and emotional wounds, after the agonizing assignment of a friend and colleague.
With an intense and detailed narrative, Ibarra offers a raw testimony about war, terrorism and the fight for truth in the midst of chaos. A work that captures the vulnerability of human beings and the need to tell what they have experienced.

Contains real photographs of the attack, some unpublished.
