Ernesto “Che” Guevara is read through diaries, political essays and revolutionary writings drawn from different stages of his life. The Motorcycle Diaries records a youthful journey through South America and shows the experiences that contributed to his developing political outlook, while Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War recounts episodes from the guerrilla campaign that brought Fidel Castro’s movement to power. Guerrilla Warfare is more explicitly instructional, discussing organisation, rural insurgency and revolutionary strategy. Guevara’s prose ranges from travel diary to ideological argument and military manual, so editions can differ greatly in purpose and context. His writings sit within Latin American political history, revolutionary memoir and Marxist political literature. Readers should approach them as primary sources from a committed revolutionary actor rather than neutral histories of Cuba or guerrilla conflict. Read more Less
