The last diary of revolutionary Che Guevara with entries up until two
days before his murder. This new edition of Che Guevara's diary of the
last year of his life describes Che's efforts to launch a guerrilla
insurrection against the military government of Bolivia. It was found
in his backpack when he was captured by the Bolivian Army in October
1967.This edition includes Fidel Castro's "A Necessary Introduction,"
exposing the lies of an earlier, pre-emptive edition prepared by the
C.I.A. to discredit Che and the Bolivian expedition, as well as the
Cuban Revolution itself. The Bolivian Diary reveals an older, more
time-tested, and health-compromised Che than either the exuberant The
Motorcycle Diaries or the mature and implacable Congo Diary. There is
rich irony here as he recounts the daily challenges faced by his small
guerrilla band, the pronouncements of the military government, and the
actions of the large military force attacking them. The last entry
describes the day before Che's capture, two days before his murder.
