The FARC Cartel is one of the "star books" of the author Colombian Colonel Luis Alberto Villamarín Pulido. This text, written as a combination of chronicle with scientific investigation and historic description. In this sense, The FARC Cartel describes one by one, the steps how the FARC has been immersed in cocaine traffic and consequent terrorism against Colombia. In 242 pages illustrated with photographs and statistical charts, the author gives to the readers enough information to interpret and understand the lines of criminal behavior mixed with totalitarian political aspirations of the Farc and the Colombian Communist Party. This book was the first in the genre to warning the world about the profiles of the war and the peace, the violence and the real life of the Colombian peace, affected for the FARC actions. The FARC cartel was also the first book that enhanced the USA Department of State to define the FARC guerrillas like a terrorist and cocaine traffic group, despite the proofs that individuals like Myles Frechette ex USA Ambassador in Colombia, who denied this true. The first volume of the Farc Cartel covers the period 1978-1996, and its content obviously invites the readers to complete the information reading the Volume II, that is covering the period 1996-2007 and Volume III that is covering the period 2007-2015. 50,000 copies of the Volumen I in Spanish published as El Cartel de las FARC is the main proof of the academic and historic scope of this book.
Numbers speak for themselves. During his life as politician and warrior, General Simon Bolívar went over a distance that surpassed in 123,000 kilometers; the land journeyed by Christopher Columbus and Vasco de Gamma together. And while General Bolívar covered the non-uniform stretch, he spread the ideas of the freedom, on a length equivalent to one and a half of the Earth’s diameter, that is the same to say, ten times more than the land journeyed by Hannibal Barca and the triple of the space walked by Alexander the Great. In spite of the tenacious resistance of Royalist troops, during the successful military campaigns of El Bajo Magdalena and Admirable, in less than six months, dated between the endings of 1812 and the beginnings of 1813, Simon Bolívar crossed triumphantly over, all the ramifications of La Cordillera de los Andes in Colombia and Venezuela. Neither before, nor later, none known military man in the history of the humanity, achieved so many success in a so ample space, during a so brief lapse. Like statesman Simon Bolívar headed four constituent congresses over and built the legal, political, economic and social bases of six republics. Like a soldier, he participated in fourteen military campaigns, he directed more than four hundred battles, and with sweeping leadership, he commanded more than one million of soldiers from diverse nationalities. Similar facts happened during the Liberating Campaign of La Nueva Granada in 1819, initiated with uncertainty in los Llanos de Setenta in Venezuela, and it successfully culminated four months later at the South of Tunja City, in the bridge on Teatinos River. In spite of the calculated obstacles laid by General Santander in Santa Fe, the foolish regional leaders’ ambitions in Venezuela, and the intrigues wrapped in Perú, in less than a year, General Simon Bolívar freed to Perú and founded to Bolivia. During the same period, he summoned a Pan-American Congress, and until he glided to go to fight against Spain´s loyal Royalists in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba and Spain. In this order of ideas, The Delirium of the Liberator, examines the biographical chronology of the well-called Genius of America, neither from the moved away surroundings of the myth, nor from erratic passion of bad politicians, but from the clear reality of an exceptional human being, full of vitality and positive mind, solved to make specific a transcendental intention, without concerning the difficulties and circumstances of way, time and place. Without a doubt, this is his greater legacy.

Based on the spontaneous and hair-raising, Johnny’s verbal testimony, a former guerilla who belonged and spent almost 13 years inside many of the Farc fronts, In Hell, summarizes and records for historic memory, experiences of a Colombian peasant guy, who was 12-year-old, when he left his mother’s home, for being engaged to the oldest Latinamerican irregular armed and subversive organization. Johnny’s narration articulates the dramatic and exciting storm of facts, hidden or masked, about the daily events happened inside harsh Leninist systems, as the cultivated since Farc’s birth, by its instigator and founder, former oil ist and Colombian Communist Central Committee Party’s member, Luis Alberto Morantes, a. Jacobo Arenas. This is a short excerpt of In Hell: And Leoni assured: —I closed my eyes to avoiding see her face, while I took this woman from her hair— —One....Two....Three!— We followed Alonso orders. Astonished I heard the guttural sound of the death, expelled by her wounded throat. By instinct I lifted the extreme of the rope. The heavy lifeless body fell down over a piece of a tree, as sooner as Leoni lifted her hair, and nauseated vomited all that his stomach had inside. With the diabolic sight aimed over the naked corpse, and without astonishing, Alonso added: —I took you here so you could get used to it.... If you were here with your mother and she screwed up, you would kill her too— We were trembled because it was the first time that we killed somebody— And now we had to kill Walter the retarded kid, who tied-up had been looking on with horror. He was sweating profusely, and even tough he was tied up and had a nose around his neck, he struggled for survival and wrestled with great strength. During the court-martial I knew that Walter was born in la Vereda Patios of Baraya Huila, so I was concerned because he could some of my father relatives. Alonso inquired: —What ´s up my friends? ...Are not you strong enough?... Pull harder!... Pull harder!....Tighten the rope!!!!— We tightened with so much strength. Walter died. Alonso took the knife and cut off his right arm, while his corpse was pending of the ropes still. The body was warm, so blood drained out of it. —Drink blood of the dead, so you learn to kill traitors, as I did when I was handsome and young—Alonso exclaimed while his eyes were filed with diabolic look.
This book is based on the spontaneous Johnny's testimony. He is a former guerrilla who belonged and spent almost 13 years inside many of the Farc fronts. In Hell, summarizes some real facts for historic memory, around the dramatic experiences of Johnny, a Colombian peasant teenager. He was 12-year-old, when he abandoned his mother's home to be incorporated as guerrilla to the oldest Latin-American terrorist organization. Johnny's narration articulates a dramatic and ex-citing storm of facts -hidden or masked- around the daily situations inside the Leninist systems. The violent style of political life inside the Farc was cultivated by Luis Alberto Morantes, a. Jacobo Arenas, its instigator and founder. The documental testimony reflects unsuspected profiles about the revolutionary war that is besieging Colombia since five decades ago, as a logic consequence of the audacious management that Pedro Antonio Marin, a. Tirofijo or Manuel Marulanda Velez gave to this terrorist organization. Furthermore, the situation has become worst, due to the corruption of several politicians, whose acti-ons or omissions, have allowed that the extreme level of the violence goes ahead until unsuspected scenarios. 40% of Colombian guerrillas are composed by thousands of young peasants, whose inoffensive appea-rance, described with amplitude and precision by Johnny, reveals flagrant violations on International Humanitarian Laws and Codes of actual and potential victims. In Hell has been written in first person, looking for keep the emotional overcharge and explain the gue-rrilla final objective, sometimes enhanced by the Colombian ingenuousness that believes in innocent peace, despite the Farc's integral strategy, seeking to seize the poli-tical power, through of the combination of all the means of struggle. Readers find and understand in In Hell, how and why, the guerrillas commit all sort of crimes on be-half of the armed socialist revolution, e.g., kidnapping, children recruitment, illicit drugs traffic, terrorism, massacres, lies a ttached to the Marxist-Leninist dialectical, and how the links of local, regional and national communists bosses work with their armed branch. Besides, there are other Farc's aberrations such as: premeditated judgments as a result of "felonies," inexistent concept of women's dignity, forced abortions, and persistent elimination of wounded mates. All of these profiles are characteristic signals of the conflict's degradation, and the intentional oblivion for the laws of the war and fundamental rights of civilian population, despite that all time, guerrillas say that they are committed to fighting to liberate poor people, from rich and capitalist oppression. Initial publishing of 30,000 copies of En el Infierno (Spanish version), plus 25,000 more copies, transla-ted to English under the title In Hell, shows the astoni-shing psychological hit, that this terrifying chronicle cau-ses among its readers. As author, I invite you to judge and give your ver dict about this evident truth, because the Colombian ab-surd war continues, while thousands of Johnnies are trapped into the mud of irrational violence.
