NOW NEW! SPARTANAT Red Book 1: Mini manual of urban guerrilla warfare

The future of war is the city.  In 2021, an estimated 4.5 out of a total of 7.9 billion people lived in cities worldwide. This corresponds to 57 percent of the world population at that time. By 2030, this proportion will reach 60 percent. At present, there are 34 megacities each with more than 10 million inhabitants. 

Carlos Marighella's legendary "Minihandbuch der Stadtguerilla" is a historical document.

The text was originally published in Brazil in 1969 and subsequently published worldwide in many underground publications. It inspired many representatives of the legendary 68er generation to turn to guerrilla warfare. Marighella's book is also an important historical document on terrorism in the 20th century, and we are publishing it in a complete new translation.

In the age of urbanization and asymmetric warfare, Carlos Marighella's "Minihandbuch" has new relevance. SPARTANAT has provided the new translation of the 1969 "Minihandbuch" with an updated introduction that explains and contextualizes the content historically for the reader. Additionally, there is a reading list with further literature available.
