Summary

Guevara's day-by-day chronicle of the 1966-67 guerrilla campaign in Bolivia, an effort to forge a continent-wide revolutionary movement of workers and peasants and open the road to socialist revolution in South America. Includes excerpts from the diaries and accounts of other combatants, including-for the first time in English-My Campaign with Che by Bolivian leader Inti Peredo. Selected for inclusion in "Significant Books of the Last 75 Years."-Foreign Affairs "Waters' meticulously edited pair of volumes [Episodes of the Cuban Revolutionary War and The Bolivian Diary] is now the best original source for English-speaking scholars. Her attention to detail and her precision do not overcome the rough eloquence that was Guevara's style; the transcendental message of a new moral order bites through the prose with deceptive simplicity."-Hispanic American Historical Review "Beautifully edited and illustrated...."-Russell W. Ramsey, Troy State University, in Hispanic American Historical Review Introductions by Mary-Alice Waters and Fidel Castro, 16-page photo section plus other photos, maps, reproductions of documents, List of Combatants, chronology, glossary, notes, index.
