The never-before published diary Che Guevara kept during the guerrilla war in Cuba when he joined the struggle to overthrow the Batista dictatorship that led to the 1959 revolution. Che’s widow Aleida March has now meticulously transcribed for the first time the small notebooks in which Che recorded his comments on events and individuals, often with a devastatingly brutal frankness.

Unpublished for over 50 years, these original dozen notebooks were the source for the articles that comprise Che’s famous Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War, on which Steven Soderbergh based part one of his epic movie: “Che” starring Benicio Del Toro.

This book includes a large number of unpublished photos and a fascinating introduction by Che’s close political collaborator, the veteran Cuban revolutionary Armando Hart.

Published by Ocean Sur in Spanish as Diario de un combatiente.
