- Summary:
- This volume documents the events leading up to, during, and after the defeat of the 1967 guerrilla insurgency in Bolivia. Against the background of the 1960s attempt to extend Cuban influence throughout Latin America, the book offers an analysis of trends in Bolivian politics from 1952 to 1967. General Prado evaluates the insurgency's geographical setting, guerrilla preparations, and the Bolivian response. Prado identifies key errors, including Che Guevara's failure to capture peasant support and anayzes Che's own theories. Previously unknown details provide a concise reconstruction of The Defeat of Che Guevara.
