There is much more than Maoism to this story. Drawing on rich veins of scholarship and journalism, this book brings together diverse perspectives on a bloody struggle. Its two dozen contributors analyze and reflect on Maoist ideas, organizations and history across South Asia. The 35 contributions include interviews with policemen, administrators and Maoists, as well as essays by journalists and scholars of South Asian society, politics and economics. Specially drawn maps, and photographs from the places of conflict, make the book a valuable tool and an engaging companion.
