Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla
The Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla () is a book written by Brazilian Marxist–Leninist revolutionary Carlos Marighella in 1969. It consists of advice on how to disrupt and overthrow an authoritarian regime, aiming at revolution. The text has been banned in many countries, but remains in print and on bookshelves in several others, including the United States. The minimanual was written deliberately to be a concise reference text for would-be revolutionaries and guerrilla fighters. It describes methods and strategies for bringing about a successful revolution, evoking other earlier Marxist-Leninist revolutions, such as the Cuban and Chinese revolutions. Published five years after the 1964 rise of the Brazilian dictatorship and just one year after the worldwide 1968 student rebellions, and at a time where hopes for international revolution among far-left militants and intellectuals were at their peak. The minimanual became an important tool and reference point for Marxist–Leninist guerrillas, and was also studied extensively by national liberation movements and organizations such as the Sandinistas.
