Everything from the ancient wars to the roots of the Cold War are discussed in this sociopolitical analysis that focuses particularly on the chronology of wars in the Colombian territory since the conquest. The heart of this work lies in its clear analysis of the present-day armed conflict, especially the subject of war during the peace talks and negotiations with militants. Despite the passions and strong opinions that result from such subject matter, this book rises above mere analysis and offers reasonable and viable recommendations for the future.
El compendio es bueno y hay datos interesantes sobre todas las guerras acaecidas desde la independencia colombiana (por omisión da sustento a la idea de que este era un lugar pacífico pre-1810). Sin embargo, puede ser escueto en unos apartes, mientras les da más vuelo a otros o simplemente no tienen nada que ver directamente con Colombia, o por procesos recientes quedaron obsoletos.
