Guerrilla Warfare is an epoch-making book by Che Guevara aimed to inspire thousands of guerrilla fighters in various countries worldwide. Guevara believed that in the world of totalitarian regimes, where political opposition and legal civil struggle are impossible to conduct, guerilla warfare is the best method to resist the government. Yet, commonly guerilla movements lack organization, clear political vision, motivation, and supply. This book was aimed to help guerilla leaders solve these issues and strengthen the opposition with strong motivation and strict organization.

On this journey of journeys, solitude found solidarity, ‘I’ turned into ‘we’.”–Eduardo Galeano "When I read these notes for the first time, I was quite young myself and I immediately identified with this man who narrated his adventures in such a spontaneous manner… To tell you the truth, the more I read, the more I was in love with the boy my father had been."–Aleida Guevara “Our film is about a young man, Che, falling in love with a continent and finding his place in it.” –Walter Salles, director of “The Motorcycle Diaries.” “As his journey progresses, Guevara’s voice seems to deepen, to darken, colored by what he witnesses in his travels. He is still poetic, but now he comments on what he sees, though still poetically, with a new awareness of the social and political ramifications of what’s going on around him.”–January Magazine Also available in Spanish: DIARIOS DE MOTOCICLETA Features of this edition include: –A preface by Che Guevara’s daughter Aleida–Introduction by Cintio Vintier, well-known Latin American poet–Photos & maps from the original journey–Che’s personal reflections on his formative years: “A child of my environment.” Published in association with the Che Guevara Studies Center, Havana
