"Che's insights are just as alive today as they were when he first wrote them down in 1960, and his work has been placed alongside that of Mao Tse-tung and Vo Nguyen Giap."--Latin America in Books
"Among Cuban revolutionary leaders, Ernesto 'Che' Guevara was unique in discerning that the Cuban Revolution could be a powerful influence in promoting insurgency elsewhere in Latin America."--American Historical Review
"Guevara's book is important in itself because of the personality of the author and his role in Latin-American affairs. But it is something more than an exercise by a prominent left-winger; it is an interesting document."--The Annals of The American Academy of Political and Social Sciences
In this, the most famous book produced by the Cuban revolution, a charismatic guerrilla leader issues his manifesto on asymmetrical warfare and establishes the principles of waging a popular rebellion. The Argentine-born Marxist revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara (1928-1967) outlines his theories on insurrection and discusses their application in Cuba and elsewhere. Guevara's essays remain remarkably relevant to the twenty-first century, and his example of dedication, commitment, and self-sacrifice continues to inspire freedom fighters around the world.
