This article focuses on the book "Utopia Unarmed: The Latin American Left After the Cold War," by Jorge C. Castañeda. More than a century later, Latin Americans who pursued yet another revolutionary quest stand at a similar crossroads. Utopia Unarmed is most powerful as a lament for the revolutionary left, its tragedy and vitality, the dedication it evoked and the frustration it wrought, and finally, the sense of loss that permeates it today. Many utopian revolutionaries did not survive, killed by the army or the police, by their comrades in fratricidal disputes and even by their own hands.
