War in Colombia: Made in the U.S.A. by Ramsey Clark

$19.95

Plan Colombia is the largest, most comprehensive and direct U.S. intervention in the hemisphere in the long history of U.S. interventions. It threatens Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Venezuela — Countries with over 100 million people — with more than a "war on terrorism." Plan Colombia places the political and economic independence of this huge region at risk. —Ramsey Clark

War in Colombia: Made in the U.S.A. powerfully counters the Pentagon and the media propaganda with facts about what’s really happening in Colombia.

In this book the reader will find the truth about:
• the almost 40,000 Colombians who have died in the last decade;
• the more than 2.5 million who have been displaced;
• the broad sectors who are heroically fighting inhumane policies mandated by the multinational corporations like Coca-Cola;
• the background history of the struggle;
• perspectives from the FARC-EP and the ELN insurgencies, trade unionists and human rights activists.

This book is a compilation of voices that oppose Plan Colombia and express solidarity with the Colombian people. It presents a unique and original analysis of the crisis in Colombia. It is a must read for scholars interested in the impact of Plan Colombia on the rest of Latin America. Activists who wish to shed light on the situation in Colombia will walk away with the information they need to do so.
