- Biografías y memorias, Colombia
La más completa biografía del ex presidente Virgilio Barco.
Los biógrafos se inclinan naturalmente por personajes vistosos: grandes líderes de masas, oradores persuasivos, dirigentes carismáticos cuyas vidas se componen de anécdotas fascinantes. Pero Virgilio Barco no fue nada de lo anterior, y es allí precisamente donde reside su encanto. Según Malcolm Deas, son su sobriedad y discreción, su seriedad y aparente distancia, las expresiones de una figura profundamente digna e interesante. Esta singularidad contrastó con un período, una época, en los que sobresalen la dificultad y la violencia; la presidencia de Virgilio Barco tuvo que contener un desbordamiento poco común de las circunstancias, aun en un Estado cuyo orden público lo ha puesto a prueba más de una vez en el último siglo.
A treinta años del sombrío año 1989, Malcolm Deas sorprende a sus lectores con el estudio biográfico de un hombre que fue ministro, alcalde y presidente durante la convulsa Colombia de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Con una formación y condiciones excepcionales, Barco merece ser redescubierto. En la presentación de su vida y sucesos, y del mundo que lo rodeó, Deas sigue un interés explícito por la evolución de las opiniones en su correspondencia y el trasfondo de las coyunturas. Es, sin duda, un novedoso aporte a la historia política de Colombia, y aun del hemisferio.
