Abstract

Observers of Peru since Carleton Beals (1934) have been pre-dicting "fire on the Andes." When Bolivia began its basic social transformation in 1952, a Peruvian conflagration seemed all the more inevitable. Then, in 1962, what appeared to be Peru's version of the Sierra Maestra phase of "the revolution" began in the densely populated mountainous areas of the south.
