Description of  Los anos en que Colombia recupero la esperanza

For many years Colombia lived a situation of public disorder and lawlessness in most of their urban and rural areas. Criminals of all kinds occupied the spaces that the government, in opportunities for lack of resources, in others by negligence, and in many by tradition left free, which plunged the civilian population in distress and anguish represented in the scourges of kidnapping, crime and extortion. The FARC, taking advantage of this situation, had the opportunity to devise, organize and develop a plan that eventually would lead to the seizure of political power through the use of arms and in a long and ascending process. Financed by drug trafficking they began their ambitious undertaking since 1982, and by 2001 the plan appeared to be successful. This book analyzes from the point of tactical, strategic and political perspective, how from the development and implementation of the policy of Democratic Security and Defense 2002 and the development of military plan Patriota these negative trends in the country changed dramatically, to the point that Colombia went from a near-collapse nation to a country with a bright future. Its indicators in security, economic development and social investment changed radically, allowing new political structure that consolidated the evident progress and the landscape had completely changed by 2006. This process of change in the situation of a country is almost a precedent, and indeed it has been taken as a model to be applied in similar situations in other regions of the world.
