  CHE: A MEMOIR BY FIDEL CASTRO

  Fidel Castro

  In this unique political memoir, Fidel Castro writes with great candor and emotion about a historic revolutionary partnership that changed the face of Cuba and Latin America. Fidel creates a vivid portrait of Che Guevara—the man, the revolutionary, and the intellectual—revealing much about his own inimitable determination and character.

  This fascinating memoir includes Fidel’s speech on the return of Che’s remains to Cuba 30 years after his assassination in Bolivia in 1967, and provides a frank assessment of the Bolivian mission.

  “For me, it has always been hard to accept the idea that Che is dead. I dream of him often, that I have spoken to him, that he is alive.”

  —Fidel Castro

  CHE GUEVARA READER

  Writings on Politics and Revolution

  Edited by David Deutschmann

  This bestselling anthology features the most complete selection of Che Guevara’s writings, letters, and speeches available in English. Far more than a guerrilla strategist, Che Guevara made a profound and lasting contribution to revolutionary theory and Marxist humanism, as demonstrated in this comprehensive book.

  The Che Guevara Reader includes essays on the Cuban revolutionary war and guerrilla warfare, Che’s analysis of the first years of the Cuban revolution (in which he played a major role) and his vision for Latin America and the Third World.

  “Che was the most complete human being of our age.”

  —Jean-Paul Sartre

  CONGO DIARY

  The Story of Che Guevara’s “Lost” Year in Africa

  Ernesto Che Guevara

  Che Guevara’s disappearance from Cuba in 1965 aroused much speculation. In preparation for the fateful Bolivian mission, Che led a secret Cuban force to aid the liberation movement in the Belgian Congo (later known as Zaire) after Patrice Lumumba was assassinated there.

  Unpublished for decades because of its controversial content, this account of Che ‘s “lost” year in Africa reflects his great literary gift, his characteristic insightfulness, his dry wit and brutal honesty.

  “Che Guevara’s feats in our continent were of such magnitude that no prison or censorship could hide them from us. His life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom. We will always honor his memory.” —Nelson Mandela

  THE BOLIVIAN DIARY

  Ernesto Che Guevara

  This is Che Guevara’s famous last diary, found in his backpack when he was captured by the Bolivian army in October 1967. It became an instant international bestseller after his death, catapulting Che to iconic status throughout the world.

  Newly revised by Che’s widow (Aleida March), and including a thoughtful preface by his eldest son Camilo, this is the definitive account of the attempt to spark a continent-wide revolution in Latin America.

  The Bolivian Diary was the basis of Steven Soderbergh’s movie “Che Part 2: Guerrilla,” starring Benicio Del Toro as Che Guevara.

  “Thanks to Che’s invariable habit of noting the main events of each day, we have rigorously exact, priceless, and detailed information on the heroic final months of his life in Bolivia.” —Fidel Castro

  REMINISCENCES OF THE CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR

  Ernesto Che Guevara

  The dramatic art and acute perception of Che Guevara’s early diaries blossom in this highly readable and entertaining account of the guerrilla movement against the Batista dictatorship that led to the 1959 Cuban revolution.

  This new, thoroughly revised edition reveals how this revolutionary war transformed not just a nation struggling against appalling poverty and oppression but Che himself, who begins as troop doctor and ends as a guerrilla commander, who will become a world-famous revolutionary.

  This book was the basis of Steven Soderbergh’s movie “Che Part 1: The Argentine,” starring Benicio Del Toro as Che Guevara.

  “Reflects the life of an extraordinary and important man.” —Library Journal
