BTW, this is what a reviewer wrote in the Amazon.com link to the book:

The book is full of mistakes, some of which would have been quite easy to detect and fix. These are just a few I found in a quick reading:
<font color="white">. </font>
(1) Simon Bolivar did not try to join Colombia with Peru and Venezuela to form the "Gran Colombia" (p. 16)(the "Gran Colombia" included Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela);
(2) The Rojas Pinilla dictatorship did not last five years (p. 18) (it lasted four years:1953-1957);
(3) Carlos Lehder and Jose Rodriguez Gacha were not "Antioquia Crime Bosses" (p. 29) (Lehder was from Quindio and Rodriguez was from Cundinamarca);
(4) President Alfonso Lopez Michelsen was not a founder of the Liberal Party (p. 62) (the Liberal Party dates back to mid-nineteenth century and thus could not have been founded by President Lopez Michelsen, who is still alive); (
5) President Cesar Gaviria Trujillo was never part of Bogota's elite (p. 122) (Gaviria comes from an upper-middle class family in the provincial town of Pereira);
(6) Marina Montoya was not a slender woman (p. 127) (Miss Montoya was a heavy-set woman);
(7) Father Garcia Herreros was not named Fernando (p. 130) (his name was Gabriel); (
8) The "Procuraduria General de la Nacion" is not "a kind of internal-affairs unit for the government" (p. 189) (the Procurador General is a constitutional level state official appointed by Congress and not part of the government);
(9) The government owned radio and television station is not called Intravision (it's named Inravision);
(10) Natives of Medellin are not called Medellinos (p. 280) (they are called medellinenses or just paisas).
