内容説明・目次

内容説明

Colombia has scarcely known one day of peace since its inception. From the time of the Spanish conquistadors up to its recent bloody and brutal elections, the Colombian people have endured immense suffering. The history of this nation is one of the world's most urgent political narratives - a story of violent drug cartels, foreign interference, corporate exploitation, paramilitary death squads and civil war - yet it has remained chronically under-told. While such a catalogue of misery would be tragic in the case of any country, it is all the more so in light of Colombia's great potential as the fifth-largest economy in Latin America. In writing this searing and insightful report, Simons does justice to people whose verve and spirit, though pushed to extremes, remain unbroken.
