Violencia, brilliantly written and conscientiously researched, is
the best that has come to the attention of this reviewer." - Latin
America in Books
0false18 pt18 pt00falsefalsefalse"Gracefully written, Henderson's
narrative is compelling in its account of political conflict over a
century and a half in one department. His fresh perspective can
serve to amplify and qualify our knowledge of Colombia's tragedy."
- The Americas
0false18 pt18 pt00falsefalsefalse"In the abundant literature
concerning the Colombian Violencia, that undeclared civil war
between the Liberal and Conservative parties that raged from the
late 1940s to early 1960s, Henderson's book must take its place as
one of the best studies yet produced. It is solidly researched and
well-written. It is also distinctive in methodological approach and
regional focus and much of its interpretation... the book is an
organizational tour de force. "Henderson uses the techniques of
narrative history to present his data, rather than social
scientific analysis. This method is well suited to recreating the
local flavor of events and certainly adds to the book's
readability."Henderson must receive credit for a remarkably
objective treatment of Colombian political forces [and] this is
just one more of the ways in which the author has shown a
refreshing originality." - Locus
