It is a theoretical manual outlining Cuba's doctrine of revolutionary warfare. The manual covers a wide range of topics, including the historical development of revolutionary warfare, the characteristics of modern conflicts, the role of the population in revolutionary struggles, and the methods of struggle used in these conflicts.
The manual emphasizes the importance of political and ideological work alongside military action. It stresses the need for a close relationship between the revolutionary forces and the people, and highlights the importance of popular support for the success of a revolutionary movement. It also discusses the concept of "war of all the people," which posits that the entire population should be involved in the defense of the nation.
