This controversial book" "maintains that in Colombia the US has
long supported a pervasive campaign of state violence directed
against both armed insurgents and a wide range of unarmed
progressive social forces. While the context may change from one
decade to the next, the basic policies remain the same: maintain
the pro-US Colombian state, protect US economic interests and
preserve strategic access to oil. Colombia is now the third largest
recipient of US military aid in the world, and the largest by far
in Latin America. Using extensive declassified documents, this book
shows that the so-called "war on drugs," and now the new war on
terror in Colombia are actually part of a long-term Colombian "war
of state terror" that predates the end of the Cold War with US
policy contributing directly to the human rights situation in
Colombia today.
