Garry Leech and the FARC

Garry Leech has written the definitive introduction to the FARC, examining the group's origins, aims, and ideology, and looking at its organizational and operational structures. The book also investigates the FARC's impact on local, regional, and global politics and explores its future direction.

Rebels Series

Rebels is an exciting and innovative new series looking at contemporary rebel groups and their place in global politics. Written by leading experts, the books serve as definitive introductions to the individual organizations, whilst seeking to place them within a broader geographical and political framework. They examine the origins, ideology and future direction of each group, whilst posting such questions as "When does a 'rebel' political movement become a 'terrorist' organization?" and "What are the social-economic drivers behind political violence?".

Provocative and original, the series is essential reading for anyone interested in how rebel groups operate today.
