Peru en Numeros. Lima : Cuanto.

Although in Spanish, this yearbook of statistics is invaluable for comparing numbers before, during and after the years of
Sendero’s strength. There are statistics of human rights abuses, innocent people accused of terrorism, registered
disappearances, terrorist acts, deaths and state of emergency zones. Comparisons are easy, since the tables and graphs
organize the data by years and departments.
