Über diesen Titel
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service
The story behind this groundbreaking audiobook - one of the most significant works of investigative journalism since Woodward and Bernstein's reporting on Watergate - has been brought brilliantly to life on the screen in the major new movie Spotlight.
Here are the devastating revelations that triggered a crisis within the Catholic Church. Here is the truth about the scores of abusive priests who preyed upon innocent children and the cabal of senior church officials who covered up their crimes. Here is the trail of "hush money" that the Catholic Church secretly paid to buy victims' silence - deeds that left millions of the faithful in the US and around the world shocked, angry, and confused. Here as well is a vivid account of the ongoing struggle as Catholics confront their church and call for sweeping change.

My English Review: Anyone who wants to hear this book because of the movie... be warned. Already at the beginning of the book it is made clear, that it is NOT about the story of the reporters who uncover the scandal but about the scandal itself, i.e. WHAT happened is described in detail and not HOW it was found out. A good counterexample is "All the Presidents Men" about the Watergate scandal. That book reads more like a novel about two reporters uncovering a scandal, while Betrayal is an account of what happened.
It should be clearly pointed out here that the authors do not hold back and that you have to digest hideous but true facts.
