Rave reviews from the imperial core: ""The manual is clearly designed to foster terrorist activities in Latin America's growing urban areas ... It is conceivable that the document may become a principal statement for anyone who 'takes the road of armed struggle.' Marighella, at least, maintains that to be a 'terrorist is a quality that ennobles any honorable man.'"" - CIA special report, 1970 ""Marighella's emphasis on terror as a tool for disrupting society borrows, of course, from the destructive spirit of anarchism, with its ""propaganda of deed."" The current upsurge of terrorist actions, in fact, strongly recalls the last decades of the 19th century, when an anarchistic reign of terror spread a blanket of fear over Europe and the U.S."" - Time, 1970 ""Carlos Marighella's Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla goes out of its way to emphasize the desirability of terroristic methods for political purposes ... Nevertheless, the philosophical truth is that a civilized society must always remain civilized even when provoked to the maximum."" - New York Times, 1971 ""You wanna make urban riot? Violent political campaign in your city? Then read this book... Not necesarilly applicable to your context, but hey at least you got the spirit. PS: The above actions may be legally considered as crime and severely punishable. Just don't say I never warned you"" - Goodreads netizen, 2007
