The Bolivian Diary: Authorised Edition Introduction by Fidel castro. Preface by Camilo Guevarra

This is Che Guevara's last diary, compiled from the notebooks found in his knapsack when he was captured by the Bolivian army in October 1967 and subsequently executed.

Newly revised by Che's widow (who originally transcribed the diary), this is the definitive account of the attempt to spark a continent-wide revolution in Latin America.

The story of the publication of The Bolivian Diary is itself a remarkable saga. Initially published as extracts by the CIA in order to discredit Che's guerrilla movement and to justify mass arrests in Bolivia and elsewhere.

Features of this new edition include an insightful preface by Che's eldest son Camilo Guevara, a range of new materials such as photos, maps, documents, glossary prepared in collaboration with the Che Guevara Studies Center (Havana), as well as memoirs by guerrillas who fought alongside Che in Bolivia.

The Soderbergh movie about Che Guevara will be based on two new Ocean Press titles: The Bolivian Diary and Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War.
