Guerrillas - War and Peace in Central America (Paperback)

Three parallel wars were fought in the latter half of the twentieth
century in El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua. These wars were
long and brutal, dividing international opinion sharply between US
support for dictatorial regimes and the USSR's sponsorship of
guerrilla fighters. This fascinating study of the 'guerrilla
generation' is based on in-depth interviews with both guerrilla
comandantes and political and military leaders of the time. Dirk
Kruijt analyses the dreams and achievements, the successes and
failures, the utopias and dystopias of an entire Central American
generation and its leaders. Guerrillas ranges widely, from the
guerrilla movement's origins in poverty, oppression and exclusion;
its tactics in warfare; the ill-fated experiment with Sandinista
government in Nicaragua; to the subsequent 'normalization' of
guerrilla movements within democratic societies. The story told
here is vital for understanding contemporary social movements in
Latin America.
