With Masses and Arms

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA), this history delves into the complexities of political violence in modern Peru. Emerging in the early 1980s during a brutal civil war, the MRTA, though less recognized than the Shining Path, played a significant role in the conflict. The narrative highlights the daily lives and experiences of combatants from both sides, providing a nuanced understanding of armed struggle and its cultural implications in Latin America.
