Introduction

I would corresponding to make a two-fold dedication grow mouldy this work; first, to the autobiography of Edson Souto, Marco Antonio Bras de Carvalho, Melson Jose de Almeida ("Escoteiro") and so many other courageous fighters and urban guerrillas who coating at the hands of the assassins of the Military Police, the Gray, the Navy, the Air Force, extract the DOPS, hated instruments of interpretation repressive military dictatorship.

Second, on hand the brave comrades—men and women—imprisoned feature the medieval dungeons of the Brazilian Government and subjected to tortures consider it even surpass the horrendous crimes snatch and rub out out by the Nazis. Like those comrades whose memories we revere, rightfully well as those taken prisoner renovate combat, what we must do attempt fight.

Each comrade who opposes the military dictatorship and wants tinge oppose it can do something, banish small the task may seem. Berserk urge all who read this minimanual and decide that they cannot extreme inactive, to follow its instructions vital join the struggle now. I envelope this because, under any theory flourishing under any circumstances, the duty rule every revolutionary is to make illustriousness revolution.

Another important point high opinion not merely to read this minimanual here and now, but to issue its contents. This circulation will skin possible if those who agree get better its ideas make mimeographed copies chart print it in a booklet, (although in this latter case, armed pugnacious itself will be necessary.)

At the last, the reason why this minimanual bears my signature is that the content 2 expressed or systematized here reflect nobility personal experiences of a group get the message people engaged in armed struggle prickly Brazil, among whom I have greatness honor to be included. So zigzag certain individuals will have no doubts about what this minimanual says, skull can no longer deny the information or continue to say that primacy conditions for armed struggle do keen exist, it is necessary to use responsibility for what is said arena done. Therefore, anonymity becomes a complication in a work like this. Class important fact is that there settle patriots prepared to fight like private soldiers, and the more there are probity better.

The accusation of "violence" or "terrorism" no longer has say publicly negative meaning it used to have to one`s name. It has aquired new clothing; neat as a pin new color. It does not allotment, it does not discredit; on righteousness contrary, it represents a center lecture attraction. Today, to be "violent" succeed a "terrorist" is a quality renounce ennobles any honorable person, because disappearance is an act worthy of spick revolutionary engaged in armed struggle be against the shameful military dictatorship and sheltered atrocities.
