The Making of Modern Colombia: A Nation in Spite of Itself
Colombia’s status as the fourth largest nation in Latin America and third most populous–as well as its largest exporter of such disparate commodities as emeralds, books, processed cocaine, and cut flowers–makes this, the first history of Colombia written in English, a much-needed book. It tells the remarkable story of a country that has consistently defied modern Latin American stereotypes–a country where military dictators are virtually unknown, where the political left is congenitally weak,

Excellent history of a fascinating country,
Americans have a very biased view of this country, with its long history of democracy and excellent education system as well as its drug lords and endemic violence. Part of this problem stems from the lack of accurate information about Colombia. This book is the only one I could find in English that gives an accurate overview of the history and to a lesser degree culture of the country. While academic in its approach, it is still accessible to the lay reader, and anyone interested in learning more about Colombia should make sure to read it cover-to-cover.
