This book is based on the hum,an drama experienced by thousands of people who have been forever marked by the armed conflict in Comuna 13, which is a district of Medellín City, Colombia.
It is a revealing testimony of the largest armed confrontation that has ever taken place within the second most important city of the country, which involved all legal and illegal armed groups of that time, and of which the civilian population was the main victim.
Comuna 13 of Medellín is a district which is mostly inhabited by humble people with low income, who strive each day to meet their basic needs and to move ahead, even in the most precarious and unfavorable conditions. These are people who were innocently trapped in the middle of the conflict between the armed groups and became victims of different violent acts.
This book is a tribute to the innocent victims, to those people who have suffered so much, and who were directly or indirectly exposed to such a traumatic existence. Also, to those who were innocent victims of the bullets in the armed conflict, which extinguished hundreds of lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars District 13
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2020
This book is essential reading for anyone who wants an understanding of the armed conflict in Medellin. Detailed testimonials from survivors of the conflict illustrate the horror that the city continues to feel the aftershocks of years after the Orion Operation. I had the opportunity to live in Medellin for a number of months, and this book contextualized for me the recent history of much of city. It is miraculous and inspiring to see how far Medellin has come since the early 2000s, but this book serves as a reminder that any city or nation can become subject to armed conflict given grave enough circumstances of poverty, desperation and distrust of government.

This is a must read for anyone who wants to know the truth about violence in Medellin. It is well written and it contains the experiences of people who have actually lived through all the turmoil and have managed to move on with their lives.
