| Abstract
|
:
|
"The majority of Latin American revolutionaries and guerrillas have now laid down their weapons and opted to participate in that region's democratic processes. What brought about this transformation? When the AK-47s Fall Silent brings together for the first time many of these former Latin revolutionaries from both sides of the conflicts - who tell their own stories, in their own words." "The former revolutionaries and guerrillas whose thoughts are collected here have almost 250 combined years experience at revolution and guerrilla warfare. When the AK-47s Fall Silent is their story."--BOOK JACKET.
