In 'Until Death Do Us Part', Ingrid Betancourt recounts her struggle for liberation and the reclamation of Colombia. In this deeply personal autobiography, the author describes how she gave up a life of comfort and safety to become a political leader in a country devastated by terrorism, violence, and hopelessness. This account, which reads like a political thriller, is at once poignant, chilling, and inspiring. It is the story of a reformer, a mother, and a patriot whose love for her country and faith in democracy gave her the courage to stand up to the power that has subjugated, intimidated, or corrupted all those who opposed it, paying an unimaginable price for her commitment.
Íngrid Betancourt Pulecio is a Colombian-French politician, former senator, and anti-corruption activist. She gained international prominence after being kidnapped by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in 2002 while campaigning for the Colombian presidency as a Green candidate.
