Colombia
Colombia is at a historic crossroads as its leaders implement peace accords that will end an undeclared but bitter civil war that has raged for more than half a century. Building a nation at peace will require the input and collaboration of both Colombians and the world community. Yet relatively little is known about Colombia in the United States and abroad. This deeply informed and accessible book traces the history of Colombia thematically over the past two centuries. In twelve interlinked chapters, Michael J. LaRosa and Germán R.

An Atlas and Survey of Latin American History
An Atlas and Survey of Latin American History provides a comprehensive, accessible introduction to both the human and physical geography of Latin America and the social, cultural, political and economic events that have defined its history. Featuring 77 maps and accompanying text, the book provides topical overviews of the key developments and movements in Latin American history, ranging from the earliest human settlement to the present day.

Highly readable and beautifully designed, An Atlas and Survey of Latin American History 2e remains an engaging resource for students and others interested in Latin American history, politics, and culture.
Historia concisa de Colombia (1810-2013)
LaRosa y Mejía han hecho algo muy útil: ofrecerle al interesado un estudio completo, actualizado, bien investigado y de lectura fluida sobre Colombia, un país que, a pesar de su tamaño, su riqueza y su importancia geopolítica, sigue siendo uno de los países menos conocidos y peor comprendidos de América Latina. Aunque ambos autores son historiadores profesionales, su libro no es un trabajo académico tradicional. Es abiertamente “presentista”, como a veces dicen los historiadores con cierto desdén. Sus diez capítulos apuntan menos a diseccionar los misterios del pasado, el ejercicio favorito de los académicos, que a explicar, del modo más conciso posible, cómo Colombia se volvió lo que ahora es. En pocas palabras, muestran el surgimiento de este país como una nación moderna, viable y a todas luces exitosa. Pamela Murray
