To many -- the Colombian, U.S. and the EU governments among them --
the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) is no more than a
terrorist organization. Moreover, they claim that the FARC is only
engaged in criminal activities and no longer maintains an ideology.
But does this tell the whole story? Or can terrorism be a strategy
for furthering ideological objectives -- irrespective of how the
terrorist actions may appear to contradict stated political and
ideological beliefs? As the UN's special envoy to Colombia noted in
2003, it would be "a mistake to think that the FARC members are
only drug traffickers and terrorists." Part of Zed's groundbreaking
"Rebels "series, Garry Leech has written the definitive
introduction to the FARC, examining the group's origins, aims and
ideology, and looking at its organizational and operational
structures. The book also investigates the FARC's impact on local,
regional and global politics and explores its future direction. As
someone who reported from the frontline in Colombia for many years
and was himself kidnapped by the FARC, Leech offers an unparalled
insight into one of the world's most high-profile armed
revolutionary organizations.
