La política de las armas. La guerra revolucionaria y la respuesta contrarrevolucionaria

Abstract

This text studies the concept of revolutionary war in the thought of his main ideologists –Mao, Giap, Ho Chi Minh, Guevara– and its real application. At the same time it is analyzed the answer that States gave to revolution: a counter-revolutionary doctrine –which was born in France and was tested in the war of Algeria and Indochina– which tried stopping the revolutionary strength in the Cold War. Both ideas –revolutionary war and counterrevolutionary response– were plenty of emotion and, in this paper, it is tried to understand them strictly from academic point of view.
