Publisher Synopsis
'Based on extensive first-hand research in guerrilla-controlled regions, Brittain chronicles the origins, development and achievements of Colombia's FARC-EP while dispelling many of the myths surrounding the rebel group' -- Terry Gibbs is an Associate Professor of Political Science and the Director of the Centre for International Studies at Cape Breton University in Nova Scotia, Canada. 'A valuable study of the causes, meaning and significance of the armed insurgency in Colombia. It [presents] a welcome break from the hegemony of the apolitical discourses that have dominated the scholarship on Colombia's conflict' -- Nazih Richani, Director of Latin American Studies at Kean University, and Associate Professor of Political Science. 'A theoretically and empirically rich analysis of the insurgency and its historical origins' -- Dr Doug Stokes, Senior Lecturer in International Relations, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK.
