As promised here last month, this is the continuation and conclusion of the story of how the Dowbrigade and his son were kidnapped in the northern Peruvian desert 14 years ago this week. Here is a sample:
“Those Senderistas were know for deadly little bits of political theater like rolling into an isolated mountain village at midnight, assembling the entire population in the main square, and in a sort of bizarre torch-lit revolutionary pep rally and training session, systematically assassinating the mayor, the policemen, all of the teachers, and anyone else who worked for the government. They would usually take a few of the village’s crazier teenagers with them when they left and call it recruitment.”
Excellent post. Thank you for finishing the story 🙂
