This review is from: Colombia: Political Murder & Reform (Paperback)

Juan E. Méndez and Cynthia Arnson are human rights pioneers. Certainly they had a lot of help on the ground in Colombia and that expertise was invaluable. This book is dedicated to the memory of Blanca Cecilia Valero de Durán of the Comité Regional para la Defensa de los Derechos Humanos assassinated on January 29, 1992. The authors examine, political violence, the guerrilla war and the peace process, the drug war and U.S. policy. It is comprehensive and well written. Americans should read this book to see our tax dollars are used in Colombia.
