"Tribute to Jaime Bateman, leader and founder of the April 19th Movement (M-19), a major guerrilla group founded in the 1970s. Includes series of interviews with Bateman, and commentaries he wrote before his death in a 1983 plane crash, a time when the M-19 was engaged in direct negotiations with the government. Fascinating insight into the views of M-19's key ideologue on revolution, democracy, and peace negotiations"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
