The powerful of the earth should take heed: Deep inside that T-shirt where we have tried to trap him, the eyes of Che Guevara are still burning with impatience. –Ariel Dorfman

Recognized as one of Time magazine’s Heroes and Icons of the twentieth century, Che Guevara became a legend in his own time and has now re-emerged as a symbol for a new generation of political activists. Far more than a guerrilla strategist, Che Guevara made a profound and lasting contribution to revolutionary theory and Marxist humanism, as demonstrated in this best-selling reader.

This reader includes four sections: the Cuban revolutionary war (1956-59), the years in government (1959-65), Guevara’s views on the major international struggles of the 1960s and a new selection of letters.
