What this episode covers

Recorded: December 26, 2019 The War Nerd reports back from Sri Lanka on the 20th century communist insurgent group Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) and its strange yet familiar transformation from mid-20th c. Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries led by Rohana Wijeweera, to today's Sinhalese nationalist parliamentarians and government kingmakers. The JVP story is overshadowed in the West by the bigger and bloodier LTTE insurgency, but it's the JVP that's survived and part of the ruling political class today . . .
