I learned a lot about Peruvian politics. I didn’t realize they had had such problems with Communist rebels, such as the Shining Path. Also didn’t realize how much the US supported the Peruvian government through monetary contributions.
Unfortunately Bolan almost seems relegated to a secondary character as an American official is abducted by Peruvian rebels. His daughter goes AWOL from the military to try to rescue him and runs afoul of the Executioner and his plans on liberation and punishment.
