This book provides a novel analysis of the military campaign of
Rafael Carrera during the popular insurrection of 1837-1840 in
Guatemala. Over the course of three years Carrera, a semi-literate
farmer, and his army of peasants established Conservative control
over Guatemala and accelerated the disintegration of the Central
American Federation. Although Carrera's rise has been analyzed from
a political and socio-economic perspective, the present work shows
that Carrera's vertiginous success is the product of a peculiar and
misunderstood approach to warfare that combines guerrilla
recruiting practices and rural insurgency logistics with
conventional combat tactics and operations. Gilmar Visoni-Alonzo
argues that Carrera's hybrid warfare was made possible because of
the conditions created by the militarization of Latin American
society following the administrative reforms of the Bourbon
monarchy in the late eighteenth century. The concept of hybrid
warfare is offered as an alternative model to understand the
success of other insurgencies.
