Customer Reviews

Shining Path from unique perspectives

A Great read for anyone who already understands a little bit about Shining Path, and even those who don't. Unique as an english language book that has assesments of this guerilla/Maoist/terrorist organization by leading Peruvian intellectuals.

Extremely Thorough

Palmer's "The Shining Path of Peru", which is actually a collection of essays by noted Latin American scholars, offers perhaps the most comprehensive study of the Shining Path that I've read. The topics range from historical perspectives of the group to speculations about its future. The book provides an excellent, extremely in-depth look at Shining Path and holds a wealth of information on Latin American terrorism and politics.
