Opis

The book's title is a geographic reference to an actual place in time -- a military base that was at the center of the drug war, deep inside the jungles of southern Colombia. The story is told as historic fiction, but is steeped in facts and inspired by true events as experienced by the author while assigned to Colombia. It focuses on the many facets of the US military advisory mission in the jungles, valleys, plains, and mountainous regions of Colombia in support of the Colombian Armed Forces. There are chapters on combat action with FMLN commandos in El Salvador and FARC guerrillas in Colombia. This book puts to rest the question of what American military advisors do in Colombia in support of their host's efforts to combat drugs.
