The sequel to The Motorcycle Diaries, this book is Ernesto Che
Guevera's journal documenting the young Argentine's second trip through
Latin America, revealing the emergence of a committed revolutionary.
These letters, poetry, and journalism document young Ernesto Guevara's
second Latin American journey following his graduation from medical
school in 1953. Together, these writings reveal how the young Argentine
is transformed into a militant revolutionary.
After traveling through Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Central America,
Ernesto witnesses the 1954 US-inspired coup in Guatemala, which has a
profound effect on his political awareness. He flees to Mexico where he
encounters Fidel Castro, marking the beginning of a political
partnership that profoundly changes the world and Che himself. Includes
a foreword by Alberto Granado, Che's companion on his first adventures
in Latin America on a vintage Norton motorcycle, and features poems
written by young Ernesto inspired by his experiences along with
facsimiles of pages from his diary.
