Review by Horn Book Review

This volume doesn't attempt to delve extensively into the historic, economic, and political details of Peru, though it does give overviews (the timeline extends to the 2006 re-election of Alan Garcia Perez). What the book does provide is glimpses of particular details that bring the culture to life. Stunning photographs and informative maps are highlights of the cleanly designed pages.
