To quote the dust jacket:
Here are gathered selections from over a century of Marxist writings on the theory, strategy and tactics of revolutionary warfare.
The first part, comprising about one-third of the volume, provides historical background from the writings of Karl Marx, Frederick Engels and V.I. Lenin. It includes comment by Marx and Engels on the revolutions of 1848 in Europe, on barricade fighting, on the role of force, and on the Paris Commune of 1871. Lenin's essays deal with the Revolution of 1905 in Russia, including an article on guerrilla warfare never before published in this country, the role of insurrection and of national wars. These selections have been made with a view to presenting the theoretical context in which Marxism has traditionally placed guerrilla warfare and other forms of armed struggle.
The rest of the volume deals largely with the period opened by World War II, but also includes essays on the inter-war years in Europe and Asia. Here the writings are grouped by areas: the Soviet Union, Europe, China, Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America and the United States. Among the themes covered are the anti-Nazi resistance movements in Europe, the Chinese Revolution, the Vietnam liberation war, current guerrilla struggles in the developing world, and ghetto revolts in the United States. The authors include Ho Chi Minh and Vo Nguyen Giap, Mao Tse-tung and Lin Piao, Fidel Castro and Ernesto Che Guevara, Amilcar Cabral and Kwame Nkrumah, Enrique Lister and Joseph Broz Tito, as well as Alberto Gomez and other Latin American revolutionists. A number of important documents are included.
The editor was himself a participant in the Huk guerrilla force in the Philippines and has written extensively on the subject. In his full-length introduction to the book, and in prefaces to the various parts and selections, Mr. Pomeroy discusses the current controversies over the strategy and tactics of guerrilla warfare.
