On May 17, 1980, on the eve of Peru's presidential election, five masked men stormed a small town in the Andean heartland. They set election ballots ablaze and vanished into the night, but not before planting a red hammer-and-sickle banner in the town square. The lone man arrested the next morning later swore allegiance to a group called Shining Path.

Described by a US State Department cable as "cold-blooded and bestial", Shining Path orchestrated bombings, assassinations, and massacres across the cities, countryside, and jungles of Peru in a murderous campaign to seize power and impose a Communist government. At its helm was the professor-turned-revolutionary Abimael Guzmán, who launched his single-minded insurrection alongside two women: his charismatic young wife, Augusta La Torre, and the formidable Elena Iparraguirre, who married Guzmán soon after Augusta's mysterious death. Their fanatical devotion to an outmoded and dogmatic ideology, and the military's bloody response, led to the death of nearly 70,000 Peruvians.

Orin Starn and Miguel La Serna's narrative history of Shining Path is both panoramic and intimate, set against the socioeconomic upheavals of Peru's rocky transition from military dictatorship to elected democracy.

Editorial Review

The Shining Path group, led by a man and two women, stopped at nothing to gain power. They carried out bombings, assassinations, and massacres across Peru to impose their views and create a communist government. This is a tale about the bravery of the rebels who fought to end the bloodshed and withstood the decade-long reign of terror from the guerrilla movements.
The Shining Path was originally written by Orin Starn and Miguel La Serna. It is a magnificent account of a civil war that affected many lives, even though not many people know or talk about it. Starn is a professor in Duke University’s cultural anthropology department and has written for many years about the history of Peru. His co-author, Miguel La Serna, is an associate professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a leading specialist in Peruvian armed conflict. Together, they tell the story of one of the most troubling events in the nation’s history.
Stephen Platt narrates Starn and La Serna’s detailed historical account of the cold-blooded and brutal group. Platt provides clarity and intensity as he highlights the stories of the brave police officers, the journalists, and the rebels who faced this ferocious group and helped bring it to justice after ten years of conflict. The Shining Path audiobook introduces the listener to the mountain villagers and two individuals who fought tirelessly to end the bloodshed. They are the incredible Black activist María Elena Moyano and the Nobel Prize-winning writer Mario Vargas Llosa. —Audible Latino Editor

I lived though the Shining Path years and this historical narrative of the communist Peruvian revolt is by far the closest to reality that I’ve have read so far.

Historically accurate account

True to facts and we'll narrated To all Peruvians that lived during those war years, this is a good reminder of what we lived thru, how far we have come and how necessary is to share this part of our history with the younger generations unless we want history to repeat.

A story I personally lived during my younger years living in Lima

Good narration, great content, I’m wiser on the Peruvian political past now. I grew up with a Peruvian mother and uncle, I never knew about Peru before now. Now I understand.

I understand now!

I wanted to learn about the history of Shining Path. What I got that was a gripping story that kept me hooked. All history books should aspire to this level of story telling!

I've been married for 20 years with a native Peruvian. It wasn't until this last election did I understand the even she was effected by the Shining Path war. I loved the attention to detail here and the dedication to including the Spanish and Quechua words in the work, and was very impressed by the reader for their pronunciation. Thank you.

Growing up in the 80s & early 90s I remember hearing the term “Shining Path” when the news reported on the near constant bombings & assasinations in Peru but knew nothing about them. I had no idea how incredibly vicious the group was or the 60,000 dead Peruvians left in their wake.
The events & biographical details of the principle characters are described with plenty of detail without being overwhelming. I was riveted throughout & often angry that though some of the terrorists’ actions were covered by US news sources, the people (particularly Maria Elena Moyano) received little to no coverage.

Fascinating overview of a war little known in the US
