This book contains some of the great works of Ernesto Che Guevara, such as, "Socialism and Man in Cuba," a classic, and the speech to the Tricontinental Congress where he called for "Two, Three, Many Vietnams." If you only know Che as an icon on a poster or t-shirt, buy this book to read what he had to say.

This is a refreshing colection of Che's speeches , refreshing in that the book is deviod of any revisionist leanings. Recommended for anyone interested in Che Guevara or the socialism that prevailed strongly during the 1960's . Also ideal for the understanding of the need for real change that still exists today.

This is a refreshing colection of Che's speeches , refreshing in that the book is devoid of any revisionist leanings. Recommended for anyone interested in Che Guevara or the socialism that prevailed strongly during the 1960's . Also ideal for the understanding of the need for real change that still exists today.

The basics of the ideas that were the guide to Che Guevara's actions are all here.
The need for workers and farmers to support each others' struggles for freedom
without regard to borders ( working-class internationalism ); the impossibility of a peaceful or
electoral road to a "nice"; capitalism; the role of the political consciousness of the
working class-- and the need for workers to lead-- in the economic and political process of
building socialism; the struggle against bureaucracy; the role of revolutionary armed struggle
to defeat the most ruthless empire the world has ever seen--the Yanqui Empire; the
flowering of the individual under socialism and the building of a new human in the process of
revolutionary struggle;how we working people can improve ourselves as human
beings by participating in that struggle; all these themes to which Che returned again and
again as subjects to act on are in basic outline in this book. Here you will find, not the icon on
a poster or t-shirt, but the living world-revolutionary leader whose perspectives we need
today and will need tomorrow in the battle to bring down the U.S-the
last-Empire.While Amazon may describe this book as not available from time to time, it is always available from the Pathfinder z store listed under new and used at the top of this page.

Read this book and you will understand why the CIA and the US military chased Che Guevara from Cuba to Africa to Bolivia to murder him.

Che was more than just a heroic revolutionary example for his time. He was an important revolutionary thinker who continued the ideas of real revolutionary Marxism against the awful vision of Stalinist dictatorship and reformist compliance with capitalism.

In these speeches and articles, especially in his On Socialism and Man Che uses the practical experience of Cuba to continue Marx and Lenin's discussion of what the fight for socialism is all about. With the growing social and economic crisis in the world, with the need for anti-imperialist struggle in the Mid East, Korea, and Venezuela, Che's ideas are needed today as much or even more than when he lived.

Unfortunatly we have to hear the oppinion of Uneducated people
people like Elena Simeon from Havana, Cuba. From her review I
can guess that she was probaly raised on a wellof family like
most rich SCAMS-BUGS cubans in Miami. I am not including the
great majority of cubans in miami who have a heart bigger then
Fidel's for cuba. I am not an advocate of FIdel at all.
I think he is another educated failure of our times.
BUT CHE was different the man cared for people and he proved it.
If not ask most cubans, Congolises, Europeans ..... we need
more man who care for the children of this world.

Anyone who has believed the myth of Che Guevara should read not only this book, but also the denunciation of his victims.

These speeches are mere propaganda a-la Stalin and Fidel Castro.

His victims, those who survived this man's criminal career, speak from their hearts and not from the powerful position that people like Che Guevara used to oppressed the Cuban people,

These faked prophets denied the Cuban people the freedom they professed were bringing!

Che Guevara today is no more that a sad caricature of what once was a powerful Orwellian propaganda machine.

The truth about this man will show up. Many were duped. Many wanted to believe this man. He died the same way he treated hundreds of Cubans in the firing squad under his direct orders.
