On December 1, 2007, during the arrest of several guerrillas in Bogota, the Colombian police confiscated a short video clip of political hostage Ingrid Betancourt. Accompanying the video was a twelve-page letter, dated October 24, 2007, written by Betancourt to her mother and family. Kidnapped on February 23, 2002, Betancourt has become an international symbol in the struggle for liberty and the fight against barbarity. Before being captured by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), she was a voice of hope for the Colombian people, leading a courageous fight against political corruption, violence and illegal detentions.Presented in this small, poignant book is Betancourt's letter to her mother printed in English, French and Spanish. From the depths of the Colombian jungle, Betancourt's words are an impassioned declaration of love to those dearest to her.In addition to this letter is a response to Betancourt written by her children, who since they were teenagers have rallied public support for their mother's release. With a preface by Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Elie Wiesel, "Letters to My Mother" conveys a powerful message of love for family and country, and a heartrending plea for freedom.

Born December 25, 1961, in Bogata, Ingrid Betancourt grew up in Paris where her father served as Colombia's UNESCO ambassador. In 2002, she published a memoir, Until Death Do We Part: My Struggle to Reclaim Columbia, which was a bestseller in France and Colombia. At the time of Betancourt's capture, she was an elected senator running for president and leading a crusade against political corruption in Colombia. For almost six years, the FARC has held Betancourt hostage in the Colombian jungle.

Vendeur : Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, Royaume-Uni
hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
