Description: "'Che' Guevara's diaries of the expedition, published unabridged, record the failure of a political and ideological dream. They also afford the reader a very personal insight into the thoughts and emotions of the celebrated revolutionary theorist, a man whose heroic adventures fired the imagination of a whole generation but led ultimately to his death in the jungles of Bolivia and to the creation of one of the twentieth century's most potent legends."--Jacket.
