Book excerpt: Peru has experienced considerable political turmoil since attaining statehood in 1821. The military has routinely been at the center of this turmoil, with coups d'etat having been a recurring theme in the country's evolution. Peru's most recent attempt at democracy-which commenced in 1980 after 12 years of authoritarian military rule-has been particularly challenging because it coincided with the commencement of an insurgent movement of unprecedented violence and vigor. Further exacerbating matters, Peru's democratically elected leaders have had to tread lightly on military prerogatives in order to insure against their overthrow. President Alberto Fujimori.
