| Summary |
“The eruption of a violent Maoist insurgency in Nepal in the late 1990s was met with bewilderment even among many who claimed to know the country well. This book provides historical, social, and political background on the movement, and describes the ongoing struggle. The so-called “people's war” was launched in 1996 by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) to overthrow the political establishment, including the monarchy.” -- BACK COVER |
