- Summary:
- From 1956-59, the people of Cuba struggled against immense odds to emerge victorious from years of brutal dictatorship, poverty, and corruption. Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War is Che Guevara's classic account of the popular war that transformed a nation, as well as Che himself-from troop doctor to world-famous revolutionary. Featuring a preface by Che Guevara's daughter, Aleida Guevara, and a new translation with Che's own corrections incorporated into the text for the first time, this edition also contains extraordinary photographs of the period.
- Following the international success of The Motorcycle Diaries, Steven Soderbergh and Benicio del Toro's new film about Che Guevara concentrates on the episodes of Che's life described in this book and in his later journal, The Bolivian Diary.
