ITEM OVERVIEW
This indispensable book includes three of Che's most influential essays describing his tactical philosophy of fighting a guerilla war in Latin America. Guerilla Warfare, written in 1960, outlines Guevara's doctrine for guerrilla fighters, especially against Caribbean-style dictatorships. In Guerilla Warfare: A Method (1963) and Message To The Tricontinental (1967), Guevara modified some of his earlier tenets. These latter two works move away from his earlier dogmatism, suggesting that Marxist revolution was possible even in purportedly democratic regimes. All three essays reflect his deeply held belief that a small, rural-based guerrilla army could trigger a revolution. This new edition features a revised translation and a foreword by Harry "Pombo" Villegas, Che's companero in Bolivia and Africa, who was one of the few survivors of Che's Bolivian campaign. This edition includes, for the first time, Che's corrections and his suggestions for further improvements to the text.
