Mini-Manual of the Urban Guerrilla

by Carlos Marighella · 1969

+ Want to read

The classic pamphlet. A how-to guide, tried and tested by countless groups across the world. An important document for anyone vaguely inquisitive, or seriously interested. Written by the Brazilian as a reaction to the failure of Guevara and the rural guerillas. This new edition includes two other documents by Marighella - Problems And Principles Of Strategy And Questions Of Organization, a 1970 interview with liberated Brazilian political prisoners, and a chronology of the guerilla struggle in Brazil from 1964-73. It is better to err acting than to do nothing for fear of erring. Without initiative there is no guerilla warfare.
