Summary:

This is Che Guevara's famous last diary, found in his backpack when he was captured by the Bolivian Army in October 1967. It became an instant international best-seller. Newly revised, with a preface by Che's eldest son Camilo and extraordinary unpublished photos, this is the definitive, authorized edition of the diary, which after his death catapulted Che to iconic status throughout the world.

Following the international success of The Motorcycle Diaries, Steven Soderbergh and Benicio del Toro's new movie about Che Guevara focuses on the episodes of Che's life described in this book and in his earlier journal, Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War.
