NUFF was only the second group in the modern English-speaking Caribbean to attempt a serious
guerrilla uprising (the first being Henry's rebellion in Jamaica in 1960), and the only one able to
create an insurgent campaign that was sustained over time.:49 Historian and former Black Power
activist Brinsley Samaroo argued that NUFF's decision to engage in an armed struggle resulted not only in the destruction of the
organisation, but also prompted the government of Trinidad and Tobago to react more harshly to non-violent organisations like
NJAC and to the leadership of the Oilfields Workers' Trade Union and Transport and Industrial Workers
Union.:267 Historian Jan Kippers Black has argued that NUFF never posed a large threat to Eric Williams' government. :252
While Williams was only mildly critical in his retrospective analysis of the Black Power
movement, his assessment of NUFF was "decidedly harsh", according to Samaroo.:112Williams wrote:
A group of young people generally well educated (reminiscent of the unrest among
affluent students in United States) are taking to the hills and forests, robbing banks,
holding up paymasters, attacking isolated police stations, shooting policemen, while
their well-wishers declaim against ‘police brutality’ when a shoot-out occurs. :112
Williams described NUFF as lacking a clear ideology, and he attributed this largely to the fact that
they lacked a foreign aggressor or colonial power to fight against.:112–113Writing in 1973 C. L. R. James
described their choice to engage in a guerrilla campaign to be "premature". :140
Many surviving members of NUFF received lengthy prison sentences. Clem Haynes was imprisoned
for eight years.:69 Andy Thomas (later Abdullah Omowale) and Kirkland Paul (Kirklon Paul according to some sources) were
sentenced to death for the murder of Police Constable Austin Sankar in 1975 and remained on death row until 1987 when they
were pardoned by President Noor Hassanali. Other members of NUFF played a role in founding the United Labour Front  in
