There Are No Dead Here is the untold story of three brave Colombians who stood up to the paramilitary groups that, starting in the mid-1990s, decimated the country in the name of counterinsurgency & drug profits. With the complicity of much of Colombia`s military & political establishment & in a climate of widespread fear & denial, the paramilitaries massacred, raped, & tortured thousands, & seized the land of millions of peasants forced to flee their homes. The United States, more interested in the appearance of success in its own War on Drugs, largely ignored them. Few dared to confront them. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews & five years on the ground in Colombia, Maria Mc Farland Sanchez-Moreno takes readers from the sweltering Medellin streets where criminal investigators constantly looked over their shoulders for assassins on motorcycles, through the countryside where paramilitaries wiped out entire towns in gruesome massacres, & into the corridors of the presidential palace in Colombia`s capital, Bogota. Throughout, she tells the interconnected stories of three very different Colombians bound by their commitment to the truth. The first is the gregarious Jesus Maria Valle, whose prophetic warnings about the military`s complicity with the paramilitaries got him killed in 1998. A decade later, Valle`s friend, the shy prosecutor Ivan Velasquez, became an unlikely hero when his groundbreaking investigations landed a third of the country`s congress in prison for conspiring with paramilitaries, & put him in the crosshairs of Colombia`s then wildly popular president, US protege Alvaro Uribe. When Uribe`s smear campaign against Velasquez threatened to bury the truth, the scrawny investigative journalist Ricardo Calderon exposed the lies, revealing that the paramilitaries` reach extended all the way into the presidency. Thanks to the efforts of Valle, Velasquez, & Calderon, Colombians now know the truth about the brutality & corruption that swept like a lethal virus through the country`s society & political system. & slowly, the country is breaking free from the paramilitaries` grip. ...

In 1986, the legendary fell runner Joss Naylor completed a continuous circuit of all 214 Wainwright fells in the Lake District, covering a staggering distance of over 300 miles
- plus many thousands of metres of ascent
- in only seven days & one hour. Those in the know thought that this record would never be beaten. It is the ultimate British ultramarathon. The person taking on this superhuman challenge would have to be willing to push harder & suffer more than ever before. There is no Map in Hell tells the story of a man willing to do just that. In 2014, Steve Birkinshaw made an attempt at setting a new record. With a background of nearly forty years of running elite orienteering races & extreme-distance fell running over the toughest terrain, if he couldn`t do it, surely no one could. But the Wainwrights challenge is in a different league: aspirants need to complete two marathons & over 5, 000 metres of ascent every day for a week. With a foreword by Joss Naylor, There is no Map in Hell recounts Birkinshaw`s preparation, training & mile-by-mile experience of the extraordinary & sometimes hellish demands he made from his mind & body, & the physiological aftermath of such a feat. His deep love of the fells, phenomenal strength & tenacity are awe inspiring, & testimony to athletes & onlookers alike that `in order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd`.
