Recenzje

'Marchesi does a superb job of tracing the development of strategic thinking about armed revolution and social change as it responded to shifting international conditions. … this is an informative and well-researched book, making effective contributions to the history of the Left during Latin America's Cold War, and the political, intellectual, and cultural history of militant groups.' Patrick Iber, H-LatAm
