The threshold of the wild year of ’68: a guerrilla republic in the heart of the Andes, the rise of the labor union movement, patriotically minded officers, and other public forces. Guaraní, Aymara, and Quechua people; miners from tin mines and oil workers; soldiers and rangers; American instructors; former Nazis; communists and leftists of all kinds. Commander Che Guevara, the city guerrillas of Gilién and Marigellа, the young teacher Abimael Guzmán, the Castro brothers, and one former ethnography student from Moscow—now Commander Tupac Amaru. A guerrilla stronghold has been created; now we need a guerrilla country. Hasta la victoria siempre!
