{"product_id":"the-shining-path-a-history-of-the-millenarian-war-in-peru-9780807846766","title":"The Shining Path: A History of the Millenarian War in Peru","description":"First published in Peru in 1990, \u003ci\u003eThe Shining Path\u003c\/i\u003e was immediately hailed as one of the finest works on the insurgency that plagued that nation for over fifteen years. A richly detailed and absorbing account, it covers the dramatic years between the guerrillas' opening attack in 1980 and President Fernando Belaunde's reluctant decision to send in the military to contain the growing rebellion in late 1982. Covering the strategy, actions, successes, and setbacks of both the government and the rebels, the book shows how the tightly organized insurgency forced itself upon an unwilling society just after the transition from an authoritarian to a democratic regime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of Peru's most distinguished journalists, Gustavo Gorriti first covered the Shining Path movement for the leading Peruvian newsweekly, \u003ci\u003eCaretas\u003c\/i\u003e. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and an impressive array of government and Shining Path documents, he weaves his careful research into a vivid portrait of the now-jailed Shining Path leader Abimael Guzman, Belaunde and his generals, and the unfolding drama of the fiercest war fought on Peruvian soil since the Chilean invasion a century before. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gustavo Gorriti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.15w x 0.96d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807846766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGorriti, Gustavo:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - In addition to his work for \u003ci\u003eCaretas\u003c\/i\u003e, Gustavo Gorriti has been a frequent contributor to the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eNew Republic\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e.
