ebooks Queen of the Virgins: Pageantry and Black Womanhood in the Caribbean (Caribbean Studies Series) by M. Cynthia Oliver in History

Description

Written immediately after the Cuban Revolution and first published in 1961; Guerrilla Warfare soon became a how-to manual for legions of guerrilla fighters around the world-from Latin America to Africa and Asia. In this revolutionary primer; Che focuses on the general principles of guerrilla warfare; the guerrilla "band;" the organization of the guerrilla front; and strategies for preserving and defending power once it has been won. The book covers broad topics-guerrilla strategy and tactics; propaganda; training; and indoctrination; and the role of women-and more specific issues like medical problems; supplies; and "sabotage." Che's epilogue; written a year after "the culmination of the long armed civil struggle by the Cuban people;" includes his analysis of the Cuban situation at the time and predictions for the country's future. Both historical document and impassioned treatise; Guerrilla Warfare was intended as a guide to realizing change when political opposition and legal civil struggle against totalitarianism are inadequate. In that sense; it provides a timeless window into revolutionary thinking today.
