Selected Writings, 1968-1991 Volume 3 (1972-1977): Building Strength through Struggle
Description:
From the Editor’s Note written by Julieta de Lima:
Building Strength through Struggle includes the major documents of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) that Jose Maria Sison (Amado Guerrero) drafted and finalized and the articles that he wrote as Chairman of the CPP Central Committee in the five-year period between the declaration of martial law (the formal start of the Marcos fascist dictatorship) on September 21, 1972 and his capture in Barrio Pagdalagan del Norte, San Fernando, La Union on November 10, 1977. These expose clearly the character and stratagems of the dictatorship and define the revolutionary course of action, including the establishment of the people’s democratic government, the leadership of the working class, the protracted people’s war and the development of the mass movement.
