Editorial Reviews

Review

“Nothing I have read in recent years conveys more vividly the hopes, the despair, the courage and the utter confusion of radicals in the Third World, particularly in Latin America. . . . As an expression of the thirst after freedom from U.S. domination, the search for sovereignty and social justice, it is a touchstone of Latin aspirations.”–Nation

1.0 out of 5 stars How to go to a grave or a prision, February 21, 2009

This review is from: Revolution in the Revolution (Paperback)

I tried to read this trash-book, on an internet site,here in Brazil.
I must tell you that this book was a left's political best-seller,about forty years ago.
Dozens of terrorist left's gangs, used this trash-book as its hand-book, to fight against governments in places such as Brazil, Argentina, Peru,Colombia,etc.
And all of them failured.
In Argentina alone, about 9,000 leftists following the absurds ideas of this trash-book were easily defeated and then murdered, between 1975 and 1978.
Please. I'm not a leftist, but even for leftists, Antonio Gramsci books are far better choices to read.
In fact, following Gramsci's ideas, sent left to power in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela,etc.
The author of this book himself became a traitor of Che Guevara and, returned to France.
