Guerrilla Warfare (Latin American Silhouettes)

This edition of Che’s classic work Guerrilla Warfare contains the text of his book, as well as two later essays titled “Guerrilla Warfare: A Method” and “Message to the Tricontinental.” A detailed introduction by Brian Loveman and Thomas M. Davies, Jr., examines Guevara’s text, his life and political impact, the situation in Latin America, and the United States’ response to Che and to events in Latin America. Loveman and Davies also provide in-depth case studies that apply Che’s theories on revolution to political situations in seven Latin American countries from the 1960s to the present. Also included are political chronologies of each country discussed in the case studies and a postscript tying the analyses together.

This book will help students gain a better understanding of Che’s theoretical contribution to revolutionary literature and the inspiration that his life and Guerrilla Warfare have provided to revolutionaries since the 1960s.

This volume is an invaluable addition to courses in Latin American studies and political science.
