Although it is only the fourth largest country of Latin America (after Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico), Peru's half-million square miles are equivalent to the combined area of France, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Superimposed upon the heartland of the United States, Peru would cover about all of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, and Missouri. Noted for the splendors of its geography, its extensive mineral endowments, and the richness of its culture and history, Peru, however, provides only a meager subsistence to most of its sixteen million inhabitants.
David P. Werlich, drawing on over five thousand sources, both published and unpublished, synthesizes for the general reader and student recent scholarship on the political, economic, social, and cultural evolution of this important Latin American nation. Without neglecting the country's early history, Werlich stresses modern Peru—the period since 1914—and furnishes the first unified, in-depth accounting of the momentous post-1968 revolution under Gen. Juan Velasco Alvarado.
Werlich's history is a lucid introduction to the entire scope of Peruvian history, and will be especially welcomed by the general reader and student interested in the contemporary era. The extensive and comprehensive bibliographic essay found in the back of the book is an invaluable aid to further study.

Peru A Short History
Knižku som naÅ¡la doma a namiesto toho, aby som sa uÄila na maturity alebo preÄÃtala nieÄo z mojich 4 rozÄÃtaných knÃh, zhltla som toto na jedno posedenie.
Nie je to Å¥ažké ÄÃtanie, je to zábavné v tom, že vÅ¡etci sme už raz zažili tie "naschvály osudu," keÄ sme zmenili Äakacà rad len preto, aby sa ten, v ktorom sme Äakali predtým, zrýchlil; alebo keÄ si limitovaný tovar v obchode, ktorý potrebujeme/chceme kúpi zákaznÃk pred nami (veÄ preto sme robili vývar bez petržlenu). Je to frustrujúce, ale zároveň vtipné. Také veci aké si Älovek nevymyslÃ. Nedávno naplánovali výlet na jeden zo slovenských hradov a len Äo sme vyrazili zo päť slovenských kuriérov ohlásilo že nám doruÄujú zásielku.
AvÅ¡ak v každom prÃpade, nechcela by som dávaÅ¥ tejto knihe privysoké hodnotenie, lebo neustále opakovanie o tom, ako sa to v živote dokáže zvrtnúť po chvÃľke zaÄne nudiÅ¥, a to akokoľvek sa vieme zamyslieÅ¥ nad vecami ako je Kardinálny hlavolam: Optimista verÃ, že žijeme v tom najlepÅ¡om možnom svete. Pesimista sa obáva, že je to pravda.. Samozrejme, je to aj preto, lebo celkovo nejestvujú v živote také dichotómie ako objektÃvne zlé a dobré. Hej, nestihol si autobus, ale aspoň si v ňom nebol keÄ potom narazil do toho vlaku, nie?
(úryvok z úvodu) Niekoľko ľudà protestovalo proti Murphyho zákonom na základe tvrdenia, že odporujú naÅ¡ej tradiÄnej viere v závažnosÅ¥ PozitÃvneho myslenia. (to bude asi len Äisto americká vec, to pozitÃvne myslenie) Môj pocit je, že akékoľvek takéto snahy stotožňovaÅ¥ Zákony s pesimizmom a negativizmom je prinajlepÅ¡om prejavom krátkozrakosti, ak nie (Äo je pravdepodobné) hlboko zakoreneného nedocenenia.
Pretože kritériá nášho postoja nie sú v rovine optimizmus-pesimizmus, v ktorej nás murphológov treba chápaÅ¥ napriek prvému dojmu. Samotné zákony nenaznaÄujú žiadne takéto tendencie. KÄ¾ÃºÄ k ich transcendentnej filozofickej povahe sa skrýva v tuÅ¡enà "pokazenosti", a jeho verbálny konÅ¡trukt by sa nemal chápaÅ¥ ako návod, že "dobré" a "zlé" sú objektÃvne javy a nie subjektÃvne postoje.
Takže vlastne dve hviezdiÄky - je to ok.
