New National Security Archive Collection on Peru

Peru: Human Rights, Drugs and Democracy, 1980-2000, the latest collection in the Digital National Security Archive, has just been released. This detailed collection of records documents U.S. foreign policy at work in Latin America, as well as sheds light on domestic politics in Peru. "Incorporating the latest U.S. government releases, which significantly enrich the historical record, these documents, virtually all previously classified, provide a compelling primary-source portrait of Peru's civil war, internal repression, and growing authoritarianism during three successive Peruvian administrations, as witnessed by the U.S. embassy in Lima, U.S. military officials, and U.S. intelligence. Simply put, there is no available compilation of materials on the subject that comes close to the quality and extent of coverage provided by this collection." -- Publisher.
