Comandante Che: Guerrilla Soldier, Commander, and Strategist, 1956-1967
This outstanding work is the first comprehensive, objective, and truly professional study of the contribution of Che Guevara to the theory and practice of revolutionary guerrilla warfare in the twentieth century. It is based on a thorough and careful reading of the relevant primary sources - principally, Che's voluminous campaign diaries, along with recently declassified CIA documents on his operations in the Congo and Bolivia. --Neill Macaulay, University of FloridaThis is a solid, realistic study of a man, not an icon. As the title suggests, Paul Dosal portrays the complete Che Guevara, but, above all, he is unsurpassed in revealing Che the guerrilla soldier--the grunt, the guy in the mud, facing death and killing ruthlessly. --Charles AmeringerBefore Osama bin Laden, there was Che Guevara. If one thinks this is hyperbole, meet the real Che in this outstanding book and contemplate what might have been had America's cold war foes adopted Che's 'tricontinental strategy.' --Charles Ameringer, Penn State UniversityThis is a solid, realistic study of a man, not an icon.
