It is written by Fernando O'Neill Cuesta whose time in prison overlapped with that of many of Uruguay's leading "direct-action anarchists." Seen as mere criminals by the legal system, these working-class men took the future author under their collective wing, told him their stories, and in the process politicized him. After his release (and stints in both the Uruguayan Anarchist Federation and the Tupamaros National Liberation Front), he went on write their story, which was also the story of a broad and deep culture of solidarity and resistance in the face of overwhelming oppression. (...) Direct Action in Montevideo is thus both a tale of daring heists, street fights, bombings, and assassinations as well as a study of the close-knit, working-class culture that gave birth to and supported these revolutionaries. [T]he author provides a sympathetic examination of "extremism" itself: what causes it, when it might-and might not—be justified." #Uruguay #bookcollecting #DirectAction #bibliophile #Bookworm #Books #BooksBooksBooks #Montevideo #instaread #booksale #UruguayanAnarchistFederation #Vintage #Antiquarian #instabooks #DirectActionInMontevideo #TupamarosNationalLiberationFront #CoverArt #Tupamaros #CuttleboneBooks #Anarchists #readersofinstagram #FernandoONeillCuesta #collectiblebooks #AKPress #Bookstagram #booksforsale #Revolution
