The Popular Revolutionary Army (EPR) Declassification Project

Two years after rebellion erupted in Chiapas and a year after peasants were massacred by the Guerrero State Police near Aguas Blancas, a second rebel group appeared in southern Mexico.  The Popular Revolutionary Army (EPR) stormed onto the scene.  Newly-declassified documents suggest both the Mexican and U.S. governments underestimated the EPR in terms of size and reach.

The documents, obtained by College of DuPage Professor Keith Yearman under the Freedom of Information Act, originated within the State Department. The Popular Revolutionary Army Declassification Project is located at http://www.cod.edu/people/faculty/yearman/epr.htm
