The Bolivian Diary

Dziś, gdy połowa mieszkańców Ameryki Łacińskiej nadal żyje w ubóstwie oraz gdy znaczna część pozostałej połowy ledwo wiąże koniec z końcem nie mając przed sobą dostępnych gdzie indziej perspektyw, wiele osób nadal patrzy na państwo jako na źródło sprawiedliwości społecznej. Choć wydaje się, że Che Guevara stał się już dla młodych ludzi z zamożnych krajów niegroźnym kapitalistycznym towarem, dla milionów latynoamerykanów i mieszkańców innych nieszczęśliwych krain nadal pozostaje on istotą z krwi i kości, która wcieliła się w dominujące instytucje. Niniejsza książka nie ma na celu pokazania jedynie brutalnej prawdy. Zwraca się także ku przedstawieniu alternatywnej ścieżki rozwoju dla ludności krajów rozwijających się. Taki jest właś...

Che Guevara's classic eyewitness account chronicles the transformation of a country, and of Che himself, from troop doctor to revolutionary icon. 'Powerful and poetic ...

First published in 1961, following the successful Cuban Revolution, this is Che Guevara's handbook for guerrilla war. Che considered that the Cuban Revolution taught would-be insurrectionists three fundamental lessons: (1) Popular forces can win a war against the army. (2) It is not necessary to wait until all conditions for making revolution exist; the insurrection can create them. (3) In underdeveloped South America the countryside is the basic area for armed fighting. Covering guerrilla strategy, tactics, terrain, organization of an army, logistics, the role of women, field medical treatment, intelligence, propaganda and training, this is the key text to understand how revolutions can be fought and won by ordinary people.
