DESCRIPTION OF THE METHODS, SUCH AS PROPAGANDA, URBAN GUERRILLA WARFARE, KIDNAPPING AND ASSASSINATION USED BY REVOLUTIONARY GUERRILLAS IN LATIN AMERICA, AND OF THE COUNTERMEASURES USED IN TRYING TO SUPPRESS THEM.

Abstract

THE AUTHOR STATES THAT WARS OF LIBERATION ARE BEING WAGED ALL OVER THE WORLD IN UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRIES. THESE ARE GUERRILLA-TYPE WARS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE SO OPPRESSED THAT THEY CANNOT OBTAIN LIBERATION IN ANY OTHER WAY. THEY ARE OPPRESSED BY GOVERNMENTS SPONSORED BY AND ENCOURAGED BY THE NEOCOLONIALIST, IMPERIALIST POWERS OF THE INDUSTRIALIZED WEST, HEADED BY THE UNITED STATES. THE IMPERIALIST ROLE OF THE UNITED STATES IS PARTICULARLY PRONOUNCED IN LATIN AMERICA, AND THE OPPRESSED PEOPLE THERE ARE JUSTIFIED IN TAKING ANY STEPS THEY WISH TO OBTAIN LIBERATION. --IN FRENCH
