En mayo de 1964 comenzo la operacion militar para recuperar la entonces llamada ‘republica independiente de Marquetalia’, que desembocaria en la cruenta y larga guerra entre las Farc y el Estado colombiano, cuyas consecuencias politicas y sociales retumban aun. Con ocasion de los 50 anos de la fundacion de la guerrilla viva mas antigua del continente, el escritor y sociologo Alfredo Molano reconstruyo desde la historia y el periodismo los origenes de las Farc. Inicialmente publicados en El Espectador, estos doce textos surgen de diferentes viajes hechos hasta reconditas regiones deColombia, donde acampa la verdadera historia del surgimiento de esta guerrilla, y de varias entrevistas del autor con los fundadores del grupo armado. A muy poco de que se firme la paz en Colombia, A lomo de mula constituye una mirada rigurosa y necesaria sobre el tema, en la pluma de uno de los mas grandes conocedores del conflicto colombiano.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA text that reconstructs part of the history of 20th-century Colombia. In May of 1964, the military operation to recover the independent republic of Marquetalia began, which would lead to the long, bloody war between the FARC and the Colombian government, the political and social consequences of which are still being felt today. On the 50th anniversary of the founding of the longest-running active guerrilla group, writer and sociologist Alfredo Molano reconstructs the origins of the FARC using history and journalism. Initially published in El Espectador, these twelve texts arise from different journeys into the most remote corners of Colombia, where the true history of this guerrilla group’s emergence lies, and from several interviews the author conducted with the founders of the armed group. Just after the signing of the peace accord in Colombia, On the Mule’s Back is a rigorous, necessary look into the topic, by the pen of one of the most knowledgeable authorities on the Colombian conflict.
