Shadow On the Shining Path

It has taken me twenty years to find the courage to tell the story of those I have killed. A friend told me I am searching for a false expiation. Perhaps he is right. In any case, it is time to name the names of those who died in Peru because of me. It is time to give a fitting obituary to those for whose deaths I was responsible. This is their story.



And it is the story of the man we all sought after or fled from. Abimael Guzman, founder of Shining Path. Some know part of the story of his capture. Theirs is an arrogant and an incomplete fiction. I am left with enough arrogance of my own to believe that only I know the whole of it. This is the whole story. It is the story of those I killed.
