Good book about the history and current events of Peru

This is a good book about a very fascinating topic. The author, a London-based journalist, reports about several of the issues concerning the corrupt government of Peru. In this book, Simpson describes such things as the Incan civilization, President Fujimori, Abimael Guzman, and the Shining Path. Much of the book centers on the inner-workings of Peruvian drug-running and how Guzman was able to avoid apprehension. Not only was Guzman the head of the Shining Path, a left-wing terrorist organization, he was also protected by Fujimori. The author does a good job of making this book interesting. Simpson is very informative, thorough, and witty. For all of these reasons, I would recommend this book. This book, however, is not for the faint of heart. Simpson does not paint a pretty picture of South American politics or Peruvan life.
