Acapulco has spawned a thriving underground traffic in "Acapulco gold," the local marijuana that hippies believe gives the world's best high. Prostitution, vice and corruption abound, and guns are as common as palm trees. Moreover, Acapulco is the largest city in mountainous and jungle-clad Guerrero, Mexico's most lawless state. Guerrero has become such a problem that last week the Mexican army was embarked on a massive drive to round up all the arms in the state...
...Nicaragua, Lorenzo Guerrero, former Interior Minister and Vice President, succeeded automatically to the presidency fortnight ago after the fatal heart attack suffered by President René Schick, the quiet, courtly Managua professor who was the hand-picked candidate of Nicaragua's all-powerful Somoza family.

It is the only salvation for Spain's masses, oppressed from above [by Franco] and menaced from below [by the Communists...
...book's focus is a dim figure from history, a Spanish renegade named Guerrero, who tried to shake the Maya princes from their fatalism and organize resistance to the invaders. The enigma of Guerrero is not fully resolved at the book's end; he is a less complete character than that other Stacton enigma, the Pharaoh Ikhnaton of the brilliant On a Balcony (TIME, Sept. 6. 1959). The trouble may be that philosophical novelists are, in their weakest moments, tract-writing zealots. Stacton's message in this book is that the proper study of doomed...
