The Path and the Peacemakers (Paperback)

The Shining Path was once one of the most feared guerrilla movements in the world & gripped Peru--and international headlines--for almost twenty years. The Path follows the story of four groups of people, including a missionary family who survived a traumatic Shining Path kidnapping and later encountered one of their captors. These stories intertwine so that, by the end, the reader has gained a number of varied perspectives on the Shining Path insurrection. The Path chronicles the suffering of Christians in that area and the remarkable strides that were made toward peace and healing in the midst of a harsh civil war.
