The Bolivian Diary

The last diary of Che Guevara, with entries going up until two days before his death—the final, blazing record of a true revolutionary.

In 1967, Che Guevara left Cuba to lead the Bolivian Liberation Army. In the jungles of Bolivia, they attempted to initiate a revolution like that in Cuba, in which Che had played such a central role. The opposing Bolivian Army was backed by the CIA, and Che and his men fought bravely in the jungle of Bolivia, with Che keeping the spirits of his men up and contending with logistical and supply difficulties, keeping the revolutionary fervour in his heart even as he notes the days of his children's birthdays passing.

Che Guevara was executed by the Bolivian Army on 8th October 1967. The notes smuggled out of his backpack back to Cuba make up this notebook, the last record of a man who truly changed the world.

The Bolivian Diary offers an intimate glimpse into the mind of one of the 20th century’s most iconic revolutionaries, capturing the spirit and determination that defined his final days.
