This is the first book in English to provide a truly comprehensive view of Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso ), a major guerilla movement in Peru. Sendero 's Maoist principles first begin in the 1960s with a small band of supporters and no attention from the outside world, but later emerged as the most radical and dogmatic expression of Marxist revolution in the Hemisphere

RESUMEN: Desde los primeros arios de la década de los 60, la dinámica de las relaciones bilaterales entre los Estados Unidos y el Perú ha sido bastante complicada y difícil. Es más, a pesar de la asimetría de poder entre los dos países que mucho favorece a los Estados Unidos, el Perú con frecuencia ha logrado sus objetivos y ha forzado a sus contrapartes norteamericanos a responder a sus prioridades. Siguen complicadas las relaciones actuales y sus proyecciones, con dinámicas muy positivas en la política contradroga y liberalización económica, pero con diferencias importantes en concepciones de la práctica democrática y de los derechos humanos. Es probable que continue la tendencia actual en las relaciones Estados Unidos - Perú de cada vez mayor influencia del sector privado norteamericano, como bancos y empresas, y de las ONGs, y una relativa reducción del gobierno norteamericano, mayormente por no estar en condiciones de aprovecharse de la coyuntura internacional y regional sumamente favorable para la proyección de sus intereses debido a factores coyunturales mayormente domésticos.ABSTRACT: Since the early 1960-s, the dynamic of bilateral relations between the US and Peru has been complicated and difficult. In spite of the differences of power between both countries, Peru has achieved its goals frequently, and it has forced the US to respond to Peruvian priorities. The current relationships between both countries are very complictated still, but there are positive dynamicis in liberalization processes and drug policies. However, there are important differences in their views of the democratic pracitices and of human arights. It is likely that the current trend in the relationship between both countries continues, with an increasing influence of the North American private sector, and a reduction of the role of the US government, which is not well situated to take advantage of the current international situation as a result of the US domestic problems.
