Montoneros

Index: El otro duelo.

Fishburn and Hughes: "CF 386: Gaucho guerrilla fighters who, in the civil wars which followed Argentina's independence, supported their local caudillo against the centralising policy of the porteƱo (Buenos Aires) army. The montoneros fought mainly in the interior provinces; their allegiance to their leader was personal and direct, and they were largely indifferent to his political leanings. During the 1970s the term was adopted by young left-wing urban guerrillas." (134)
