Robber of Memories - A River Journey Through Colombia Jacobs MichaelPaperback
Running through the heart of Colombia is a river emblematic of the fascination and tragedy of South America, the Magdalena. A third of the victims of 'la violencia', Colombia's period of civil conflict which began in the 1950s, ended up in its waters. Considered by some to be the most dangerous place in the world, travellers along the river - for centuries the only route into the vast South American interior - were at the mercy of tropical disease, dangerous animals and precarious barges.
In spellbinding prose, he charts the dangers he negotiated - including a terrifying three day encounter with the FARC - while uncovering the river's history of Townships alongside it have experienced some of the worst massacres in South American history.In 2011, Michael Jacobs travelled its whole length to the river's source high up in Andean moorlands controlled by guerrillas.
