This book is an abridgement and translation of Guillermo Lora's five-volume history. It deals with the strengthening and radicalisation of Bolivia's organised labour movement, which culminated in the drastic revolutionary changes of the 1950s. The first half offers a reinterpretation of Bolivian history in the century preceding the revolution, viewed from the perspective of the working class. The second half discusses in more detail the major political events and doctrinal issues of a period in which the author, as secretary of the Trotskyist Partido Obrero Revolucionario, himself frequently played an active part. Despite the radical upheaval that occurred in the fifties and the mobilisation of broad sectors of the population around such radical objectives as direct property seizures, union-nominated ministers and union, military and worker control, the labour movement was unable to maintain its conquests in the 1960s. The concluding chapters describe the period of renewed military repression and the continuing efforts of the labour movement to resist.

En la década de 1960, en Bolivia, se desarrollaron dos estrategias revolucionarias. Una, insurreccional, enraizada en la lucha audaz del combativo proletariado minero y del campesinado. Otra, foquista, fuertemente atada al proyecto internacionalista cubano y dirigida por el máximo icono de la guerra de guerrillas, el Che Guevara. Las páginas del libro que editamos nos introducen en el apasionante debate entre ambas estrategias, debate que tuvo una trascendencia mundial. En esta obra, Guillermo Lora, principal dirigente del Partido Obrero Revolucionario (POR) boliviano, asume la ardua tarea de criticar el foquismo, el método con mayor arraigo en las direcciones revolucionarias de la etapa. Lo hace mediante la crítica a una de las experiencias más trágicas de aquellos años, la que terminó consumiendo la vida del propio Guevara.
