Biography: 

Will Soper is a former journalist (20 years) and former graphic artist (28 years) who began researching in 2007 the 1854 US Navy razing of Greytown, a Central American port. Officially explained as avenging “an insult to the American Minister to Nicaragua,” his research discovered instead that two US businesses inveigled Washington into destroying the town. He wrote a peer-reviewed journal article in 2017 revealing this, an op-ed in 2018, and a book, entitled “‘Greytown is no more!’ The 1854 Razing of a Central American Port, the U.S. Businesses Behind Its Demise, and the Lasting Foreign Policy Legacy,” in 2023.
