A modern nation in a state of total disorder, Colombia is an international flashpoint—wracked by more than half a century of civil war, political conflict, and drug-trade related violence—despite a multibillion dollar American commitment that makes it the third-largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid. Law in a Lawless Land offers a rare and penetrating insight into the nature of Colombia's present peril. In a nuanced account of the human consequences of a disintegrating state, anthropologist Michael Taussig chronicles two weeks in a small town in Colombia's Cauca Valley taken over by paramilitaries that brazenly assassinate adolescent gang members. Armed with automatic weapons and computer-generated lists of names and photographs, the paramilitaries have the tacit support of the police and even many of the desperate townspeople, who are seeking any solution to the crushing uncertainty of violence in their lives. Concentrating on everyday experience, Taussig forces readers to confront a kind of terror to which they have become numb and complacent. "If you want to know what it is like to live in a country where the state has disintegrated, this moving book by an anthropologist well known for his writings on murderous Colombia will tell you."—Eric Hobsbawm

They entered the valley, harsh yet beautiful. With danger around every hill. Where only a fast gun and quick thinking can save a person, and even then only with luck. A lot of luck. Rex Mumford brings to life in this western novel much of the suspense, action, and surprise of the traditional old west. Follow the lives of those portrayed in this novel during a time when men and women wanted little more than some land and to live peacefully. Yet when faced with difficult challenges they could and would meet them head on. Often they were the judge and jury with little time to decide the fate of those that wronged them. When someone draws on you, you only have two choices, be faster or die in: The Lawless Land Brown's Hole, one of the stops along the outlaw trail. A beautiful valley for ranching, but also a haven for those hiding from the law with no were else to run. More often than not, they possessed only a fast horse, and even faster gun hand. It was fight or die. Most fought, some died. Two deputy marshals, leaving their badges and authority behind, and a girl with a different agenda, all enter the valley known as Brown's Hole. Two looking for answers, one looking for revenge. Faced with challenges and odds never before faced, each will find what they are looking for and a whole lot more than they bargained for. The only problem is surviving.
