Both he and James Lockhart Smith, the book’s principal author and until recently an IISS Research Associate, answered questions.
 

The FARC Files

'This comprehensive study of FARC communications draws on a wealth of new material to offer unparalleled insights into the international relationships and strategic thinking of one of the world’s longest-running insurgencies.  It is an important reminder that insurgencies are not just won or lost on the battlefield but are critically influenced by public perceptions, and often also by the covert support or sponsorship of governments.' David Kilcullen, author of The Accidental Guerrilla and Counterinsurgency

‘The IISS analysis of FARC communications fills an important gap in our understanding of the recent history of the Andean region. It is an essential research tool.’ Malcolm Deas, St Anthony’s College, Oxford
