Guatemala's Peace Process

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explains how the Guatemalan tragedies, the U.S. involvement, and the stumbling 1990s peace process developed. It raises fundamental questions about the badly misunderstood and much over-hyped 'democratic transition' supposedly occurring in Guatemala and elsewhere in the region.
