He is also the director of Miss Sarajevo, an award-winning documentary produced by Bono. He has written for Rolling Stone, Outside, Men's Journal, and other publications. He lives with his family in southern Arizona.
Bill Carter's new book is utterly engaging. I want to use the words fabulous and hearty . We often think we know the world but then we read a book that tells us we didn't. Carter is a hard man and he humiliates the copper industry and the grave dangers they carelessly expose us to. A necessary read for thinking Americans. --Jim Harrison
