From the Sierra to the Cities: The Urban Campaign of Shining Path
Original title: From the Sierra to the Cities. The Urban Campaign of the Shining Path. Translated into Spanish by Ricardo Alvarado Portalino. This report describes the urban campaign of Sendero Luminoso against the government of Peru. The study is based on a data-driven assessment of the war, on the author's travels in Peru, and on interviews with members of Peruvian security institutions, who are now at war against Sendero Luminoso. It was developed as part of a larger project, "Andean Futures: A Comparative Political, Economic, and Security Assessment," sponsored by the Under Secretary of Defense Policy.
