"This edition of the Bolivian diaries of Ernesto Che Guevara (1928-1967) - the legendary revolutionary who participated in insurgent communist movements in Cuba, the Congo, and Bolivia - also contains the journals of his closest lieutenants, as well as other documents chronicling Guevara's doomed Bolivian campaign (January 1966 - October 1967). ". "The diaries themselves offer a day-to-day glimpse into the conflicts he had with Castro, the political and logistical difficulties of waging a guerrilla campaign, and the larger philosophical dilemmas he faced as he balanced the competing interests of Castro and the Soviet Union with his own revolutionary goals. ". "Che's execution and the controversial history of the diaries themselves sparked international interest and debate. Che's Bolivian diaries, illustrated with 32 pages of rare photographs, including many taken by Guevara and his guerrillas, remain as intriguing and unforgettable as when Che first wrote them.
