Publisher's Synopsis

Through their acts of bloody daring and sacrifice, guerrillas have come to dominate events in much of today's world. Passionate, defiant and idealistic, they are almost mystical figures, inspiring the young while filling their enemies with hatred and fear. In this book Jon Lee Anderson takes us into the lives of these people.;The phenomenon of the guerrilla is a striking feature of 20th-century politics: in their world, lovers marry, children are indoctrinated and everyone old enough to lift one, carries a gun. Jon Lee Anderson is the first journalist to be granted access into many of these complex societies and to their well-guarded guerrilla leaders.
