Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The dramatic and entertaining account of the revolution in Cuba, from the architect of its success.

We were an army of shadows, of ghosts, walking as if to the beat of some dark psychic mechanism

The Cuban Revolution changed the course of the twentieth century. Following years of brutal tyranny and poverty, a band of idealistic young people fought against immense odds to overthrow a dictator and emerged victorious. This is the story of how they did it.

Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War, Che Guevara's classic eyewitness account, chronicles the transformation of a country, and of Che himself, from troop doctor to revolutionary icon.

Powerful and poetic ... For anyone interested in the myth of Che Guevara ... this book is essential reading — Colm Tóibín, Observer

Che's life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom — Nelson Mandela

About the Author

Ernesto Che Guevara was born into a middle-class family in Argentina in 1928 and trained as a doctor, but became radicalized by the poverty and hunger he witnessed in South America. He played a key role in the Cuban revolution and served in Fidel Castro's government. He then travelled to Congo to support the rebellion there, and finally to Bolivia, where with a small, committed group he initiated a revolutionary movement and was captured and executed by Bolivian and US military forces in 1967.
