"The powerful of the earth should take heed: Deep inside that T-shirt where we have tried to trap him, the eyes of Che Guevara are still burning with impatience."--Ariel Dorfman

Recognized as one of Time magazine's "Heroes and Icons of the twentieth century," Che Guevara became a legend in his own time and has now re-emerged as a symbol for a new generation of political activists. Far more than a guerrilla strategist, Che Guevara made a profound and lasting contribution to revolutionary theory and Marxist humanism, as demonstrated in this best-selling reader.

This reader includes four sections: the Cuban revolutionary war (1956-59), the years in government (1959-65), Guevara's views on the major international struggles of the 1960s and a new selection of letters.
