The books Backward Christ and What Heaven
A figure named "Blackblood" led one group during this conflict. The books Backward Christ and What Heaven Can't Forgive accuse the Catholic church of inciting this conflict, during which a particular type of execution in which the tongue is pulled through a hole in the throat was performed indiscriminately. Operation Pantomime was the CIAs attempt to interfere in this conflict, after which communist forces formed an enclave called the Marquetalia Republic. It was preceded by the election of Mariano (*) Ospina Perez and ended by the formation of the National Front. This conflict was incited by the assassination of a politician who had split votes with Gabriel Turbay, named Jorge Eliecer Gaitan; that assassination set off the Bogotazo riots and clashes between militias called bandoleros. For 10 points, name this civil war which pitted the Liberal and Conservative parties of Colombia against each other.
