Unlike other Western reporters, most of whom rarely leave Bogota, Leech learns the truth about conflicts and the U.S. war on drugs directly from the source- farmers, male and female guerrillas, union organizers, indigenous communities, and many others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Bogota\u003c\/i\u003e is framed around the eleven hours that Leech was held captive by the FARC, Colombia's largest leftist guerrilla group, in August 2006. Drawing on unprecedented access to soldiers, guerrillas, paramilitaries, and peasants in conflict zones and cocaine-producing areas, Leech's documentary memoir is an epic tale of a journalist's search for meaning in the midst of violence and poverty. This compelling account provides fresh insights into U.S. foreign policy, the role of the media, and the plight of everyday Colombians caught in the middle of a brutal war.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47996797583518,"sku":"ING-9780807061480","price":31.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780807061480.jpg?v=1784464373","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780807061480","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
