A study of social banditry in Colombia during a near-civil war.

Trade Review
" ... makes a substantial contribution to the history of a specific period of contemporary Colombian history. But it has a broader significance for modern Colombian history, and for the comparative history of the state, violence, peasantries, and women in Latin America, which should assure it the wide readership it deserves."--Journal of Latin American Studies, August 2002
