Official synopsis Publisher
“As a revolutionary theoretician Cabral has few equals anywhere in the world.”—The Tribune (London)
The success of the liberation movement of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde in the 1960s and ’70s was due in considerable measure to the political genius of Amilcar Cabral. Engineer turned guerilla, he followed no “school” imported from abroad. The speeches, writings, and interviews in this volume show a distinctive strategy based upon meticulous study of conditions in his own country and they summarize the principles of the PAIGC—the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde.
