Ernesto Che Guevara''s diary of his revolutionary struggle in Congo alongside Cuban guerrillas.In April 1965, Che Guevara set out clandestinely from Havana to Congo to head a force of some 200 veteran Cuban soldiers to assist the African liberation movement against Belgian colonialists, four years after the assassination of the democratically elected socialist president of Congo, Patrice Lumumba. This diary deals with what Che admits was a "failure," and he examines every painful detail about what went wrong in order to draw constructive lessons for planned future guerrilla movements. Unique among his books, Congo Diary gives us Che''s brutal honesty and his story-telling ability as he recounts this fascinating episode of guerrilla warfare unblinkingly and without sugar coating or jargon. Considered by some to be Che''s best book, it is also one of the few that he had a chance to edit for publication after writing it.

'Guevara was a figure of epic proportions. These diaries, stark and moving, will be his most enduring monument' ObserverThe final diaries of Che Guevara begin in 1966, when he travelled to Bolivia to foment a revolution, and end just two days before his death in October 1967. They form an unvarnished account of his guerrilla campaign against CIA-backed Bolivian troops, fighting in the jungle and keeping his men's spirits up - even as the struggle started to fail. Found in Guevara's backpack and smuggled to Cuba after his execution, The Bolivian Diary is an inspiring record of, and a moving memorial to, a revolutionary life.

'Powerful and poetic ... For anyone interested in the myth of Che Guevara ... this book is essential reading' Colm T ib n, Observer'We were an army of shadows, of ghosts, walking as if to the beat of some dark psychic mechanism...'The Cuban Revolution changed the course of the twentieth century. Following years of brutal tyranny and poverty, a band of idealistic young people fought against immense odds to overthrow a dictator and emerged victorious. This is the story of how they did it. Che Guevara's classic eyewitness account chronicles the transformation of a country, and of Che himself, from troop doctor to revolutionary icon.'Che's life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom' Nelson Mandela

'Guerrilla warfare is a war of the masses, a war of the people'First published in 1961, following the successful Cuban Revolution, this is Che Guevara's handbook for guerrilla war.It covers strategy, tactics, terrain, organization of an army, logistics, field medical treatment, intelligence, propaganda and training, and focuses on seven 'golden rules' of guerrilla warfare. Widely studied both by insurrectionist movements and those who have tried to suppress them, this is the key text to understand how revolutions can be fought and won by ordinary people.

Tal vez sorprenda que la imagen ms difundida del siglo XX no represente a una estrella de rock, o de Hollywood y mucho menos a un hombre de negocios o a un deportista de xito. Tampoco a a un poeta, un pintor, o a un cientfico. Ernesto Che Guevara no dirigi el destino de una potencia mundial y su imagen no fue resultado de una campaa meditica en sentido estricto, aunque podra decirse que ella es en s misma una campaa con un mensaje reconocible. El Che es el hombre rebelde por excelencia pero l mismo fue ministro y banquero y dirigi juicios sumarsimos y ejecuciones. Tambin fue un icono del voluntarismo, expresin mxima (o mnima, segn quiera verse) de la accin revolucionaria y eje de la construccin de una sociedad nueva. Y, asimismo uno de los grandes iconos mediticos del siglo XX.
