This work is Che Guevara's classic analysis of the Cuban revolution, authorised by the Guevara Estate. This is the best-selling Che Guevara title for decades, often regarded as a manual for would-be guerrillas. In this infamous volume, Che Guevara details his hit-and-run tactical style, a guerrilla warfare paramount to the overthrow of the Batista government and the establishment of the Castro regime. Although often regarded - and used - as a manual for would-be guerrillas, "Guerilla Warfare" is actually a polished political analysis of what happened in Cuba and why - a unique historical document outlining the failures of the Batista primacy, the ways in which it provoked revolutionary foment and the reasons why those notorious military tactics were employed. Featuring a new translation and a new preface by Che's guerrilla companero, Harry "Pombo" Villegas, Ocean's edition of this classic title has been authorised by the Guevaras. With black and white photographs accompanying the text and released in time for Steven Soderbergh's biopic (starring Benicio Del Toro as Che), this is a perfect addition to the libraries of Latin American Studies departments and the legions of Che fans everywhere.
