Minihandbuch der Stadtguerilla – SPARTANAT Red Book 1

The future of war is the city.

In 2021, an estimated 4.5 billion of the world's 7.9 billion people lived in cities. This corresponds to 57 percent of the world's population at that time. By 2030, this share will reach 60 percent. There are currently 34 megacities, each with more than 10 million inhabitants. 

Carlos Marighella’s legendary “Mini Manual of Urban Guerrilla Warfare” is a historical document. 

The text was originally published in Brazil in 1969 and subsequently republished in numerous underground publications around the world. It inspired many members of the legendary '68 generation to join the guerrilla movement. In times of urbanization and asymmetric warfare, Carlos Marighella's "Mini-Handbook" has gained renewed relevance. SPARTANAT has provided the new translation of the 1969 Mini-Handbook with a contemporary introduction that historically explains the content and contextualizes it for the reader. It also includes a reading list with further reading.
