Out of Print books which CSN recommends

Colby and Dennett have done a fantastic job in both researching (17 years worth) and presenting the damning evidence for hitherto hidden U.S. corporate-military interference in South America. Some of the hidden history of U.S. counterinsurgency in Colombia is exposed. (Reviewed in Spring-Summer 1995 Action on Colombia).

This excellent expose of the dark and dirty deeds of the U.S. government is prematurely out of print (fishy!) and very hard to find. Read it and learn from newly declassified documents about the secret U.S. counterinsurgency activities in Colombia, Nicaragua, Lebanon, Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines, Guatemala, Cuba, Afghanistan, Greece, etc.

"It unravels the threads of this paradoxical country. Exploring the economic and social forces which condemn a quarter of the population to absolute poverty, it examines the role of the political parties, trade unions, guerrillas and civic movements in Colombia today."

"A riveting insight into urban violence in Medillin. Salazar journeys into the jails, hospitals and shanty towns of Colombia's 'drug capital' to interview teenage contract killers, their families, priests and self-defense vigilantes. He brings alive the world of Medellin's youth gangs, those who, in their own words, are 'born to die' before they can have children or grow old."
