Description: In this searing account, Dario Arizmendi recounts the story of Luis Eladio Perez, a man that was held hostage by Colombia's Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC). His story gives testimony to a tragic period in Colombia's history, to the unimaginable reality of living in captivity for seven years. ''Luis Eladio Perez shared the terrible experiences of living in captivity -the humiliations, ill-treatment and total loss of human dignity; the continuous clashes, intolerance and differentiations made by his fellow captives; the constant hunger; the impotence of not having access to the most basic forms of medical care, for example the single daily aspirin that could ''treat'' a heart-attack or a renal crisis, not to mention having suffered three diabetic comas and two bouts of malaria. He also talked about the long and grueling forty-day walks through the heart of the jungle, his relationship with Ingrid Betancourt and with his fellow captives. He described the subhuman conditions they lived in-which he refers to as ''the purest form of barbarism''-, the structure of the camps, their diet and daily routines, the chains used to hold them, the insects, snakes and tigers, the constant fear of insanity, the uncertainty of survival, and sex life in captivity. He gave me a detailed account of the dramatic escape plan hatched with Ingrid Betancourt, which they aborted of mutual accord. The story poured in these pages is an invitation for all of us to reflect upon the turmoil Colombia has lived in for the past four decades -a turmoil with no apparent solution in the near future''. Dario Arizmendi Description in Spanish: ''Luis Eladio Perez compartio conmigo la penosa vida cotidiana en cautiverio, la perdida de la dignidad, el maltrato, las diferencias, roces e intolerancias entre los mismos companeros de cautiverio, las humillaciones a las que era sometido constantemente, sus hambrunas, el miedo a perder la vida, la impotencia de no tener ni una aspirina para ''tratar'' un infarto, ni una crisis renal y tres comas diabeticos, amen de dos malarias y dos leishmaniasis, las largas y penosas de hasta cuarenta dias por el corazon de una selva virgen y cruel, su relacion con Ingrid Betancourt y con las demas victimas. Me conto las condiciones en las que el y sus companeros de secuestro vivian, situacion que define como ''la mas pura de las barbaries''. Me conto como es la estructura de los campamentos, como son las caletas, la alimentacion, las rutinas diarias, las cadenas con las que los mantuvieron amarrados por los dias de los dias, los insectos, las culebras, los tigres, el temor constante al acecho de la locura, la incertidumbre de la supervivencia, la vida sexual. Con lacerante nostalgia y recordando siempre a sus companeros, me relato con detalles y dramatismo su periplo en el intento de fuga con Ingrid Betancourt y la decision conjunta de abortar el plan. Con razon y corazon, Luis Eladio Perez nos hace reflexionar sobre esta desgarradora realidad que ha sufrido nuestra querida Colombia desde hace mas de cuatro decadas y que continua. Y que no pareciera tener salida con luz al final del tunel, por lo menos en el corto plazo''.Dario Arizmendi. ''Vivi con Luis Eladio el descenso al infierno. Conocimos juntos las fronteras de la locura, presenciamos las honduras de la degradacion humana y descubrimos la infinita bondad de Dios. Poco podemos hacer para cambiar el mundo, salvo dar testimonio'' Ingrid Betancourt

Review Summary: An eye and heart opener to the disgrace that is the FARC of Colombia Date: 2008-12-21
 
Details: Luis Eladio Perez sounds very truthworthy in his memoirs of his imprisonment in the jungles of Colombia by the barbaric FARC guerrillas.
My heart goes to him and his family for so many years of pain and suffering they had to endure. Thanks God he's alive and recuperating, but those long, lost years in that jungle will never be recovered.

Details: Estimados señores:
El libro es excelente y fácil de leer por el tamaño y tipo de letra. Cumplió con mis expectativas de entender mejor lo que significa ser un secuestrado de la FARC.
Atentamente

Review Summary: Anothe rmust read.... Date: 2008-09-19
 
Details: This is another excellent account by an individual who was kidnapped by the FARC for seven years. It's an insight that no reporter would be able to give unless they too had been kidnapped.

Do not miss this one....
