Crónica que relata las intimidades del otro lado del conflicto armado en Colombia

Más allá de ser un libro primicia, Últimas noticias de la guerra es un reportaje novelado que muestra con crudo realismo la parte humana de los guerrilleros involucrados en el conflicto armado que vive Colombia. El autor acudiendo a géneros periodísticos como la crónica y la entrevista, narrados con estructura y lenguaje literario, nos transporta a la inhóspita selva donde viven insurgentes de carne y hueso que lamentablemente por fatales errores de uno y otro lado, de una historia desigual , están lejos de todo, casi sumergidos en un país imaginario.
A través de la guerrillera Solangie, conocemos los crueles vericuetos de la guerra y la noticia que trae el libro: la vida naciendo en medio de la muerte. Al final las palabras de Tirofijo develan la trágica metáfora del país: un gobierno y unos alzados en armas intransigentes, y una sociedad civil anestesiada en los estertores de su propia supervivencia.
