Radio War Nerd, EP #50—FARC & Colombia Insurgencies (Patreon)

FARC & Colombia

With FARC-Colombia ceasefire ending half a century of brutal war, the War Nerd walks us back through Colombia's ruling class bloodbaths in 1899-1902 and La Violence 50 years later, before the FARC appeared — and tries making sense of this little understood and remarkably successful Marxist peasant guerrilla movement, which outlasted them all in the roughest neighborhood in Latin America. . . . Plus: a brief look at the latest Syria ceasefire. . . .

Total time: 2:07:41
