ABSTRACT
Editor’s Introduction: Under President Alan Garcia Pérez (1986–1990) Peru had proceeded well down the road to ML* terrorist chaos. Indeed, it is probable that the chaos had been compounded by Garcia himself who was an avowed Marxist, a “believer” in Senderista “principles” and the college roommate of Victor Polay Campos, the ML boss of the terrorist MRTA. On 28 July 1990 Alberto Kenyo Fujimori Fujimori succeeded him (LAPI Vol. I, 22ff), having soundly defeated the expatriate Peruvian writer, Mario Vargas Llosa, who thencefor-ward devoted considerable effort to attacking the Peruvian president. A new constitution (1993) and another election (1995) in which Fujimori soundly defeated, by better than three-to-one, a Javier Pérez de Cuellar who had just retired as UN secretary general, perhaps to put this upstart Japanese in his place. But, between his two elections, Fujimori dispersed Ruz Castro’s murderous ML terrorists who had come very close to adding another national scalp to their HL (LAPY Vol. I, pp. 169ff and later volumes).
