Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 456 pages. Timothy Lomperis persuasively argues the ironic point that the lessons of Ame rican involvement in Vietnam are not to be found in any analysis of the war by i tself. Rather, he proposes a comparison of the Vietnam experience with seven oth er cases of Western intervention in communist insurgencies during the Cold War e ra: China, Indochina, Greece, the Philippines, Malaya, Cambodia, and Laos. Lom peris maintains that popular insurgencies are manifestations of crises in politi cal legitimacy, which occur as a result of the societal stresses caused by moder nization. Therefore, he argues, any intervention in a 'people's war' will succee d or fail depending on how it affects this crisis. The unifying theme in the cas es Lomperis discusses is the power of land reform and electoral democracy to cem ent political legitimacy and therefore deflect revolutionary movements. Applying this theory to the ongoing Sendero Luminoso insurgency in Peru, Lomperis makes a qualified prediction of that conflict's outcome. He concludes that a global tr end toward democratization has produced a new era of 'people's rule.'
