Handbook of leftist guerrilla groups in Latin America and the Caribbean

by Liza Gross

"Concise treatment of leftist guerrilla groups - Marxist-Leninist, Trotskyist, Maoist, Guevaraist, Castroist - in 19 countries includes important information on each organization's date of origin, its principal leadership, and its core ideology. The historical and political context is provided for each movement, together with details of the organization's primary activities and its present status. Well-written and useful reference source on the subject includes bibliography organized by country. However, lack of an index makes the data somewhat difficult to access"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
