Guerrilla Warfare by the revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara, written in
1960, has become a how-to manual for thousands of guerrilla fighters in
various countries around the world. Guevara intended it to be a
guidebook on guerrilla warfare, as inspiration for the revolutionary
movement. Fascinating to admirers and adversaries alike, he captured the
minds of millions with his leadership and his belief in guerrilla
warfare as the only effective agent to achieve political change.
Here, in his own classic text on revolution, Che draws on his firsthand
experience of the Cuban campaign to document all aspects of guerrilla
warfare, from its aims to its organization and training. He analyses how
in Cuba, against all odds, a small band of dedicated fighters grew in
strength with the support of the people to defeat a dictator's army.
Guevara emphasizes that guerrilla warfare is a favorable method against
totalitarian regimes, where political opposition and legal civil
struggle is impossible to conduct.
