With Masses and Arms

More about the book

Focusing on the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA), this history delves into the complexities of modern Peru's civil war and the interplay between political violence and communication culture in Latin America. Emerging in the early 1980s, the MRTA, though less prominent than the Shining Path, played a significant role in the conflict. The narrative vividly portrays the daily lives of combatants from both sides, offering a nuanced exploration of armed struggle and its impact on individuals involved.
