Uncivil Movements: The Armed Right Wing and Democracy in Latin America (review)
One would like the author to continue the story closer to the present. The end of the cold war and return to democratic governments in the past decade has eliminated the old justification for police assistance, but such activity has not decreased. Rather, U.S. officials now couch their requests for police training as a tool of the drug war. After reading this book, one would expect increased assistance in Colombia to result in more violence and less stability.
