Are there any decent reads on the Communist Party of Peru / the Shining Path? Ideally something that at least attempts to be somewhat objective and attempts to do some actual crit.

I recently picked up The Shining Path: Love, Madness, and Revolution in the Andes off of a recommendation but the authors are pretty blatantly anti-communist at times. Frequently it reads like an unreliable narrator and not like its really trying to provide a detailed picture of the situation.

Edit: for transparency, I’ve only read about the first 1/4th of The Shining Path: Love, Madness, and Revolution

    It’s called CIA Sendero Luminoso: Guerra política by Andero Matias, I have a .pdf but it’s in Spanish. :/ I can read it, though.
