Simon Strong, a Lima-based correspondent for a number of publications including The New York Times and The Independent, has spent years observing the Shining Path and its terror campaign firsthand. In this vivid and disturbing book, he reveals how Shining Path guerrillas have systematically destroyed Peru's economy (total damages to date: $15 billion) and taken control of the countryside, forcing the government to declare maniai law. Exposing the group's shadowy history, bizarre ideology, and global connections, he describes what the mounting success of the Shining Path means for Peru—and the rest of the world.
"A very good introduction to a dramatic subject that is at the hean of the dilemma in not only Latin America, but all third world countries." —M ARID Vargas Llosa
