The Urban Guerrilla (book)

"The Urban Guerrilla," written by Carlos Marighella in the 1960s, is a revolutionary manual that outlines tactics for armed struggle in urban environments. Marighella, a Brazilian Marxist revolutionary, argues that traditional guerrilla warfare is not effective in cities where the population is dense and heavily monitored. Instead, he advocates for highly mobile, small groups that utilize sabotage, surprise attacks, and propaganda to challenge oppressive governments. The book emphasizes the importance of engaging the masses and using urban spaces strategically to achieve political goals, making it a significant text in revolutionary thought and urban warfare strategies.
