Notre Guerre Populaire et ses Particularités

French translation of "Specific Characteristics of our People's War."

This essay was distributed in mimeographed form to CPP leading cadres and members. It was subsequently published in July 1975 and again in 1979 under the title Specific Characteristics of our People’s War in the Philippines. Also in 1979, it was published under the original title as a companion piece to the third edition of Philippine Society and Revolution.

From the Editor’s Note written by Julie de Lima:

“It reflects a dialectical materialist understanding of the objective conditions of our country and the subjective forces (domestic and foreign) and, on the basis of these, works out the line for the new democratic revolution through protracted people’s war. The NPA can use to advantage not only the relative vastness of the countryside but also the mountainous archipelago. It explains the process of growing from small and weak to big and strong both at the strategic and at tactical levels.”
