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."

Carlos Marighella was a Brazilian politician, writer, and Marxist-Leninist militant. He was a key figure in the armed resistance against Brazil's military dictatorship and founded the Ação Libertadora Nacional (ALN), an urban guerrilla group responsible for bank robberies, kidnappings, and other militant actions. Critical of nonviolent resistance, he advocated for armed struggle and wrote the Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla, a widely circulated revolutionary text.
Targeted by the authorities, Marighella was ambushed and killed by police in 1969. His legacy remains controversial—while some view him as a revolutionary hero, others see him as a terrorist. His life has been depicted in literature and film, most notably in the 2019 movie Marighella, directed by Wagner Moura.

Книга могла быть полезна для того, чтобы революционная молодежь, жаждущая с криком Ура жертвовать жизнью, приносила хоть какую-то пользу делу революции. Но в целом на 90% состоит из пропаганды, а на 10% - из банальных советов, которые по умолчанию соотносятся с любой партизанской борьбой. Многие советы просто свод��тся к тому, что партизан должен быть умнее и сильнее, чем солдаты и полиция.

Very interesting outline of urban guerilla warfare. As much specific as vague at the same time so it can be read and understood by everyone. The way the brazillian junta handled the PCB and Marighella showed how dangerous his activities and ideas were to the imperialist ruling class. May he rest in peace.

كتاب عن حرب العصابات في المدن والكاتب مناضل يساري من البرازيل

لفت نظري حديثه عن خطايا حرب العصابات في المدن وذكر منها: انعدام الخبرة، والغرور، والتباهي بالعمليات، والفشل بالتخطيط، والهجوم لحظة غضب العدو، والتسرع، والمبالغة في القوة
أظن أن بعض هذه الأخطاء يقع فيها المقاومون في الضفة الغربية كما قد تجاوزو بعضها

لم يتحدث الكاتب عن حالة استخدام العدو لسياسة الأرض المحروقة كما فعل نظام الأسد في حماة في الثمانينات وفي سوريا كلها بعد الثورة، وكما تفعل إسرائيل في
غزة. ماذا يفعل المقاتلون في هذه الحالة وهل لديهم أي فرصة للنجاة والإستمرار؟

This book is so boring that reading it turns into a real "snoozefest". Basically, the message of this book is this: The military dictatorship in Brazil is evil, so in order to fight it we need training, vehicles and weapons, but we should not be hasty (you don't say?!). Also, the best calibers of firearms are .45 and .38, and THE END that's the whole book.
