Feria del Libro 2017. Informe radial: "Mónica González 03:00 PM 1 de mayo de 2017"

Abstract

In this interview from the José Asunción Silva auditorium at the Bogotá International Book Fair, journalist Mónica González talks with journalist and author Jorge Rojas about his latest book "Timochenco, the Last Guerrilla". Rojas recounts how he met the guerrilla leader in their youth, his later involvement in the FARC, his role in the armed conflict, and his part in the peace agreement. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding Timochenco’s personal story and humanizing the conflict’s actors. He also shares little-known stories about the former commander’s clandestine medical training and how he saved the lives of 13 wounded soldiers. The conversation ends with a reflection on youthful decisions and different paths to social change.
