...leader of this party is a gentle spirit, dignified and impractical. To him there is nothing ridiculous in the sight of his men toiling along treacherous trails, weighted down by armor, struggling to transport an entirely useless cannon. He has brought his wife with him and his second in command's daughter. What begins as an obviously dangerous journey soon turns into a manifestly self-destructive one. The rafts built to navigate the river are inadequate to its currents. And then, of course, there are the Indians, always in the shadows, picking off stragglers. But the worst danger derives...

The war also left the eastern flank of NATO in a shambles, with both the Greeks and the Turks blaming their American allies for trying to maintain a measure...
Armed Conflict. If war broke out, Peru's armor and modern planes would probably blitz about 35 miles into the Atacama. But the Chileans, regarded by some military men as the better fighters and tacticians, might be able to regroup and eventually push back the Peruvians. An armed conflict, if it did occur, would not only take a bloody toll of the participants but could also tempt other countries on the continent into similar action. Potentially volatile territorial disputes, for example, simmer between Venezuela and both Guyana and Colombia, and also between Peru and Ecuador...
