More than a guerrilla strategist, Che Guevara made a profound and lasting contribution to revolutionary theory, as is demonstrated in this new, expanded edition of the Che Guevara Reader.This Reader includes four sections: the Cuban revolutionary war (1956-58); the years in government in Cuba (1959-65); Guevara’s views of the major international issues of the time, especially a vision of the Latin American revolution; and a selection of letters written by Guevara, including his farewell letters to Fidel Castro and his children and family.The Che Guevara Reader has been prepared in association with the Che Guevara Studies Centre of Havana, Cuba. The most authoritative collection to date of the work of primary material on Cuba and Latin America in the 1950s and 1960s.ContentsErnesto Che GuevaraIntroduction to the second edition by David Deutschmann ChronologyPART 1: THE CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY WARSelections from Episodes of the Revolutionary WarA revolution beginsAlegria de PioThe battle of La PlataA betrayal in the makingThe murdered puppyInterludeA decisive meetingThe final offensive and the battle of Santa ClaraEl PatojoWhat we have learned and what we have taught (December 1958)The essence of guerrilla struggle (1960)Guerrilla warfare: A method (September 1963)PART 2: THE CUBA YEARS 1959-65Social ideals of the Rebel Army (January 29, 1959)Political sovereignty and economic independence (March 20, 1960)Speech to medical students and health workers (August 20, 1960)Notes for the study of the ideology of the Cuban Revolution (October 1960)Cuba: Historical exception or vanguard in the anticolonial struggle?
