Che Guevara

"This edition of the Bolivian diaries of Ernesto Che Guevara (1928-1967) - the legendary revolutionary who participated in insurgent communist movements in Cuba, the Congo, and Bolivia - also contains the journals of his closest lieutenants, as well as other documents chronicling Guevara's doomed Bolivian campaign (January 1966 - October 1967).". "The diaries themselves offer a day-to-day glimpse into the conflicts he had with Castro, the political and logistical difficulties of waging a guerrilla campaign, and the larger philosophical dilemmas he faced as he balanced the competing interests of Castro and the Soviet Union with his own revolutionary goals.". "Che's execution and the controversial history of the diaries themselves sparked international interest and debate. Che's Bolivian diaries, illustrated with 32 pages of rare photographs, including many taken by Guevara and his guerrillas, remain as intriguing and unforgettable as when Che first wrote them."--BOOK JACKET.

Dagboek van de Zuid-Amerikaanse revolutionair (1928-1967) van zijn reis in de jaren 1951-'52.

The publication of this title by Ocean Sur in Spanish in July 2011 provoked considerable international attention (including CNN). This never-before-published diary (comprising a dozen small notebooks) Ernesto Che Guevara kept during the guerrilla war in Cuba when he joined the struggle to overthrow the Batista dictatorship that led to the 1959 revolution has now been meticulously transcribed by his widow, Aleida March.Why did it take over fifty years for this diary to be published? Maybe because of some caustic comments Che makes in his usual brutally frank style. Maybe it was felt appropriate to wait until Fidel Castro had produced his own memoirs (now published by Ocean Press as "The Strategic Victory"). In launching the book in Havana in July 2011, editor Maria del Carmen Ariet marked that it was "never clear whether or not Che wanted these diaries published" as he had reworked several pieces into his famous "Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War," on which Steven Soderbergh based part one of his epic movie "Che," starring Benicio Del Toro. Nevertheless, all Che's diaries--from his early "Motorcycle Diaries" and its sequel, "Latin America Diaries," through to his last diary from Bolivia--are extraordinary examples of his literary gift and his political incisiveness, in terms of his personal reflections, his criticisms and self-criticism, and his observations about others and events.

Collects speeches that the revolutionary leader delivered to university students and other youth groups between 1959 and 1964, along with a tribute to Guevara given by Fidel Castro in 1997.

"The writings of one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century -- revolutionary leader Ernesto 'Che' Guevara. These diaries follow on from the events recorded in 'The Motorcycle Diaries' and recount the experiences that would make Che a figure known around the world. The people of Cuba struggled against immense odds to emerge victorious from years of brutal dictatorship and poverty in 1959. This is Che Guevara's classic eyewitness account of the transformation of a country and also the transformation of Che himself -- from a troop doctor to a revolutionary leader, who would become one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century ..."--Publisher description.

"Three decades after the death of the legendary Latin American figure, this book presents a new selection of Ernesto Che Guevara's most important writings and speeches. It is the most comprehensive selection of Guevara's writings ever to be published in English"--Jacket.

"Written after Che Guevara's 1965 mission to Africa, this unpublished biographical introduction to Marx and Engels will assist a new generation to understand not just the key concepts of Marxism but also to learn more about the author himself, whose image and example continues to inspire rebels on every continent."--BOOK JACKET.
