by Amilcar Cabral Monthly Review Press 1979, paperback SKU: 9780853456254 Unity and Struggle: Speeches and Writings of Amilcar Cabral, introduction by Basil Davidson. Cabral is amo ng the great figures of our time—these texts provide the evidence. Amilcar Cabral, who was the Secretary–General of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and the Cape Verde Islands (PAIGC), was assassinated by Portuguese agents on January 20, 1973. Under his leadership, the PAIGC liberated three–quarters of the countryside of Guinea in less than ten years of revolutionary struggle. Cabral distinguished himself among modern revolutionaries by the long and careful preparation, both theoretical and practical, which he undertook before launching the revolutionary struggle, and, in the course of the preparation, became one of the world’s outstanding theoreticians of anti–imperialist struggle.
