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.
