Crisis In Colombia
Mac is back! Following on from Bryan Marlowe’s thrilling Recalled to Arms and Leaving Mercy to Heaven, Eli (Mac) Murray, an embittered ex-SAS captain and his wife Sarah Shahar, a former Israeli Army captain attached to Mossad (Israel’s Secret Service), who first joined forces to fight a fanatical terrorist group in North Africa and the Middle East, are thrust back into the world of international intrigue, abduction and murder, when actors and technicians from the Omega Film Company are abducted and held for ransom in Colombia by junta overlord, Diego Contrero Moretta. With the deadline for payment fast approaching and Moretta not known for showing mercy, the race is on for Mac and Sarah to save the innocent abductees. Bryan Marlowe’s novels are fiction, but he makes no bones about drawing on his experiences with the Royal Air Force, the Diplomatic Service, the Police, his work as a newspaper columnist, his voluntary service with Victim and Witness Support and his travels to some very unlikely places to take a holiday.

Colombia
Written by two leading historians, this deeply informed and accessible book traces the history of Colombia thematically, covering the past two centuries. In ten interlinked chapters, Michael J. LaRosa and German R. Mejia depart from more standard approaches by presenting a history of political, social, and cultural accomplishments within the context of Colombia's specific geographic and economic realities. Their emphasis on cultural development, international relations, and everyday life contrasts sharply with works that focus only on Colombia's violent past or dwell on a Colombian economy deeply dependent on narcotics--a tragic nation that barely functions. Instead, the authors emphasize Colombia's remarkable national cohesion and endurance since the early nineteenth-century wars for independence. Including a photo essay, detailed chronology, and resource guide, this concise yet thorough history will be an invaluable resource for all readers seeking a thoughtful, definitive interpretation of Colombia's past and present. This updated paperback edition addresses the current peace negotiations in an epilogue titled "Chronicle of a Peace Forestalled?"
Colombia
Updated to include the historic 2022 presidential election, this deeply informed and accessible book traces the history of Colombia thematically over the past two centuries. LaRosa and Mejía move beyond the common perception of a failed state to explore the rich heritage and dynamism that have characterized Colombia past and present.
Forgotten Peace
"Forgotten Peace examines Colombian society's attempt to move beyond the Western Hemisphere's worst mid-century conflict and how that effort molded notions of belonging and understandings of the past. In this book, Robert A. Karl reconstructs encounters between government officials, rural peoples, provincial elites, and urban intellectuals during a crucial conjuncture that saw reformist optimism transform into alienation. In addition to offering a sweeping reinterpretation of Colombian history--including the most detailed account of the origins of the FARC insurgency in any language--Karl provides a Colombian vantage on global processes of democratic transition, development, and memory formation in the 1950s and 1960s. Sweeping in scope, Forgotten Peace challenges contemporary theories of violence in Latin America."--Provided by publisher.
