This very practical manual contains Che’s clearest, most committed analysis of guerrilla warfare, the basis of the struggle of a people to redeem itself. He shows how a small band of revolutionaries, ill-equipped but flexible, inventive, and mobile, can use the massive strength of its opponents to overthrow a corrupt regime in armed struggle. Strategy, tactics, sabotage, propaganda, and intelligence are all discussed in detail; and Che also examines the possibilities of action in the suburbs and cities themselves.
