Ingrid Betancourt: on her six years as a captive in the Colombian jungle

A little over two years ago, Ingrid Betancourt, former candidate for the Presidency of Colombia, was freed in a dramatic military rescue mission after six years of being held hostage. She and other hostages, incluing three Americans, had been taken captive by narco-terrorists known as the FARC rebels.

She has written a poetic account of those six years in her new book, ‘Even Silence Has an End: My Six Years of Captivity in the Colombian Jungle.’
