HOSTAGE NATION(ISBN=9780307271150) 英文原版 azw3 chm 地址 kindle 阿里云 下载 umd pdf

　　A blistering journalistic exposé: an account of government

negligence, corporate malfeasance, familial struggle, drugs,

politics, murder, and a daring rescue operation in the Colombian

jungle.

On July 2, 2008, when three American private contractors and

Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt were rescued

after being held for more than five years by the Revolutionary

Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the world was captivated by their

personal narratives. But between the headlines a major story was

lost: Who exactly are the FARC? How had a drug-funded revolutionary

army managed to hold so many hostages for so long? Had our costly

War on Drugs failed completely? Hostage Nation answers these

questions by exploring the complex and corrupt political and

socioeconomic situations that enabled the FARC to gain

unprecedented strength, influence, and impunity. It takes us behind

the news stories to profile a young revolutionary in the making, an

elite Colombian banker-turned-guerrilla and the hard-driven

American federal prosecutor determined to convict him on American

soil, and a former FBI boss who worked tirelessly to end the

hostage crisis while the U.S. government disregarded his most

important tool—negotiation.

With unprecedented access to the FARC’s hidden camps, exceptional

research, and lucid and keen insight, the authors have produced a

revelatory work of current history.
