Book Description
Although itis only the fourth largest country of Latin America (after Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico), Peru's half-million square miles are equivalent to the combined area of France, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Superimposed upon the heartland of the United States, Peru would cover about all of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, and Missouri. Noted for the splendors of its geography, its extensive mineral endowments, and the richness of its culture and history, Peru, however, provides only a meager subsistence to most of its sixteen million inhabitants. David P. Werlich, drawing on over five thousand sources, both published and unpublished, synthesizes for the general reader and student recent scholarship on the political, economic, social, and cultural evolution of this important Latin American nation. Without neglecting the country's early history, Werlich stresses modern Peru--the period since 1914--andfurnishes the first unified, in-depth accounting of the momentous post-1968 revolution under Gen. Juan Velasco Alvarado. Werlich's history is a lucid introduction to the entire scope of Peruvian history, and will be especially welcomed by the general reader and student interested in the contemporary era. The extensive and comprehensive bibliographic essay found in the back of the book is an invaluable aid to further study.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
