Guerrilla Warfare
This indispensable book includes three of Che Guevara?s most influential essays describing his tactical philosophy of fighting a guerrilla war in Latin America. Guerrilla Warfare, written in 1960, outlines Guevara?s doctrine for guerrilla fighters, especially against Caribbean-style dictatorships. In Guerrilla Warfare: A Method (1963) and Message to the Tricontinental (1967), Guevara modified some of his earlier tenets. These latter two works move away from his earlier dogmatism, suggesting that Marxist revolution was possible even in purportedly democratic regimes. All three essays reflect his deeply held belief that a small, rural-based guerrilla army could trigger a revolution.

Guerrilla Warfare Reviews
When one of Castor's commanders in the field asked him for instructions Che himself admitted that "he knew nothing about military tactics." He said so himself! This book is more myth than reality. It is nothing more than a compilation of Castro propaganda for those enthralled by the cult of Che.
For a real picture of what Che was like read the accounts of people that actually served under him in Humberto Fontova's book: "Exposing the real Che Guevara and the useful idiots who idolize him."
Exposing the Real Che Guevara: And the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him
Interesting from a historical point of view. The tactics explained are very basic but would be useful for a rural insurgency. On a positive note, Che was very opposed to terrorism as practiced by his fellow travelers today.
The constant railing against "oppressors" is tiring in light of how Cuba (and N. Korea and Vietnam and the USSR and...) turned out. History has proven his argument to be essentially - join me in fighting your oppressors and when we win, I'll stay in power and rule you with an iron fist for the next 100 years.
excellent book. I finished Che's Book about his memories of the Cuban Revolutionary War right before I started this book and I totally recommend that book that he wrote.
I also recommend reading Enduring Cuba by Zoe Bran. First Read Che's book on his time in Cuba, then check out what Zoe has to say about modern day Cuba. The best thing
about her book are the times she talks about history of the poets of Cuba, staying in Che's hotel room and remembering him and she gives and excellent little didactic on Batista's
Cuba before Che and Fidel showed up.
Guerilla Warfare is an easy, fun read with a simplistic approach to psychological warfare so well put that the whole book can be tackled and taken down in one day.
thanks, Che,

Enduring Cuba (Travel Literature)
Che, an author on guerrilla warfare? Give me a break. The only military victory Che ever had was against unarmed men. Che, the master of guerrilla warfare, whose band of rebels was so incompetently led that in Bolivia the group got split in two and wandered around in circles for 48 days lost and even shooting at each other.
Let's get real people. This book is just another in the long list of Che fantasy material published by Fidel Castro and his regime. Gee, that's the same as the Motorcycle Diaries and all other completely inaccurate tripe that is published by the Castro regime.
This might as well have been written by John Lee Anderson, Che's greatest hagiographer of all time!
Guerrilla Warfare is sure to be a very handy primer for rural (as opposed to urban) guerrillas, but, for the rest of us, it is nothing more than a highly readable primary source on rural revolutionary tactics and strategy. Readers who are interested in Che's personal take on the Cuban Revolution should instead look for a copy of Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War, and those who are interested in the life of Che himself should pick up one of Che's more reputable biographies, be it Jon Lee Anderson's epic Che Guevara, Paco Ignacio Taibo II's sizable Guevara, also known as Che or Jorge Castaņeda's mid-length, but quite captivating, Compaņero.
