Tony Avirgan and Martha Honey
Tony Avirgan and Martha Honey are a married couple and former journalistic duo who reported on the 1979 Uganda–Tanzania War and Central America in the 1980s. They were unsuccessful plaintiffs in Avirgan v. Hull, a civil suit alleging responsibility for the La Penca bombing, which injured Avirgan. Philip Chrimes credits Honey with, "perhaps more than any other journalist, help to blow the cover on the illegal North-Secord Contra resupply operation". Journalist Ed Hooper described Avirgan and Honey's book War in Uganda: The Legacy of Idi Amin as an "outstanding eyewitness account" and an "excellent source" on the Uganda–Tanzania War.
Their son, Jody Avirgan, is also a journalist.
Awards
