A blistering journalistic exposé: an account of government
來源:香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk negligence, corporate malfeasance, familial struggle, drugs,
politics, murder, and a daring rescue operation in the Colombian
jungle.
On July 2, 2008, when three American private contractors and
Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt were rescued
after being held for more than five years by the Revolutionary
Armed Forces of Colombia FARC, the world was captivated by their
personal narratives. But between the headlines a major story was
lost: Who exactly are the FARC? How had a drug-funded revolutionary
army managed to hold so many hostages for so long? Had our costly
War on Drugs failed completely? Hostage Nation answers these
questions by exploring the complex and corrupt political and
socioeconomic situations that enabled the FARC to gain
unprecedented strength, influence, and impunity. It takes us behind
the news stories to profile a young revolutionary in the making, an
elite Colombian banker-turned-guerrilla and the hard-driven
American federal prosecutor determined to convict him on American
soil, and a former FBI boss who worked tirelessly to end the
hostage crisis while the U.S. government disregarded his most
important tool—negotiation.
With unprecedented access to the FARC’s hidden camps, exceptional
research, and lucid and keen insight, the authors have produced a
revelatory work of current history.
