add to cart   close window

The article discusses revolt in Peru. In 1919, back in Peru, obscure sergeant in the Peruvian army Augusto B. Leguia led a revolt of the gendarmerie, seized absolute power and wielded it with an iron hand until about a fortnight ago when two military cliques, operating in Lima and Arequipa in Peru, bowled him over. Today the dictator who crushed all opposition and had himself "reelected" so as to maintain his dictatorship for eleven consecutive years is jailed on the barren island of San Lorenzo in Callao harbor in Peru, where he confined his political foes.
