Overview

"Should be on the required reading lists of the Chiefs of Staff and [the President's] advisers."
--"The Western Political Quarterly
Startlingly relevant to our own time, Che's essays in this manifesto on asymmetrical warfare established the principles of waging a popular rebellion. Che outlines his theories, and discusses their application in Cuba and elsewhere. His belief that insurrection relies equally on practical and "romantic" elements has, literally, changed the world.

Editorial Reviews

"CHE GUEVARA'S CLASSIC TEXT IS NOT JUST A BOOK OF TACTICS, IT'S A CLOSELY REASONED, FINELY DETAILED AND IMPASSIONED ANALYSIS OF THIRD WORLD EXPLOITATION AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE EXPLOITED."

From the Publisher

Che Guevara's book was originally published in 1960, the written output of a revolutionary who had proved his talents in the real world. His text includes sections on propaganda, sabotage, the role of the woman, and the guerilla fighter as social reformer, and an epilogue in which he analyzes the events leading to the Cuban Revolution of 1959 and the possible future of revolutionary ideals in the Americas. Che's book, accompanied by introductory matter and case studies by Brian Loveman and Thomas M. Davies, Jr., was published by U. of Nebraska Press in 1985; in this third edition, the introduction and case studies have been revised and updated and contain new perspectives on Che's life and political impact, the situation in Latin America, the United States' reaction to both, and the application of Che's theories on revolution to the political situation in seven Latin American countries from the 1960s to the present. Paper edition (unseen), $21.95. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Booknews

For teaching purposes this volume is extremely worthwhile. The evaluation of guerrilla experiences is on the whole judicious, the prose highly readable, and the package coherent.

Journal of Latin American Studies

Che's insights are just as alive today as they were when he first wrote them down in 1960.

Latin America In Books

Aside from Che's own compelling rhetoric, the case histories demonstrate Che's influence and the application of his analysis in very specific terms. . . . Those who teach courses on the Third World or on the history of Latin America since World War II should welcome this volume.

Hispanic American Historical Review

This interesting book is more than a mere translation of Che Guevara's handbook on how to be a guerrilla fighter. Rather, the translation of Guevara's historic work, Guerrilla Warfare, and two of his later pieces, 'Guerrilla Warfare: A Method" and "Message to the Tricontinental," are nestled between an informative and well-developed introduction and essays describing the struggles in seven South American countries whose guerrilla movements were inspired by Che Guevara's writings and beliefs. . . . This work is quite useful for anyone who desires to understand the struggles occurring around the world today.

Journal Of International Law and Politics

A fine document describing the struggles in seven South American countries, this remains a useful tool in today's world.

The Bookwatch

For teaching purposes this volume is extremely worthwhile. The evaluation of guerrilla experiences is on the whole judicious, the prose highly readable, and the package coherent.
