Publisher Description

In October 2010, cholera broke out in Haiti for the first time in over a century. The first case showed up in the remote village of Meille, days after a group of United Nations peacekeeping troops from Nepal arrived.

The Haitian government quickly sought the help of French epidemiologist, Dr. Renaud Piarroux, known for his work in cholera refugee camps. But while researching on the start and spread of the disease that has since killed almost 9,000 Haitians, Dr. Piarroux stumbled upon what he believes is a series of UN maps that was changed gradually over five days, demonstrating intent to cover up their responsibility in the deadly outbreak. This is the first time he is discussing and sharing the maps he captured before they were replaced in 2010.

This book contains interviews and documents from Dr. Piarroux, the Haitian authorities, doctors and surviving family members of the first cholera patient in Haiti, the Nepali National Contingent commander at that time, scientists whose climate arguments the UN used to back their stance of non-culpability, UN staff and the lawyers who have filed lawsuits on behalf of Haitian cholera victims and their families.

This book is best experienced in landscape view.
