Extremely biased and containing baseless errors

Nothing really. Very quickly i realized this brief history was rife with embarrassing numbers of basic historical errors. The Battle of Jenkins’ Ear is called The Battle of Jenkins’ Era for example. A claim is also made that Colombia has almost 20,000 years of recorded history. Ridiculous. In addition, this book has an obvious right wing bias and speaks of the moneyed classes as if their experiences have been synonymous with those of the rest of the Colombian people. Also completely skips over Pablo Escobar and the effect of the cocaine trade on the nation!! I only wish i could get a refund on this because it was a waste of my time.

It's Missing Something

Columbia is everything the author says it is but he failed to mention what today has made them infamous. It was alluded to but not directly addressed, and that' omission goes to the credibility of the story.
