Never needed to read it, although I do need it as a reference book just in case I do. This edition has drawings in the text. (  ) TerryD.Hooker | Jul 24, 2009 |  Guerrilla Warfare is sure to be a very handy primer for rural (as opposed to urban) guerrillas, but, for the rest of us, it is nothing more than a highly readable primary source on rural revolutionary tactics and strategy. Readers who are interested in Che's personal take on the Cuban Revolution should instead look for a copy of Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War, and those who are interested in the life of Che himself should pick up one of Che's more reputable biographies, be it Jon Lee Anderson's epic Che Guevara, Paco Ignacio Taibo II's sizable Guevara, also known as Che or Jorge Castañeda's mid-length, but quite captivating, Compañero. (  ) BGP | Nov 29, 2008 | It is a book that one read because of the author, not the content. It contains some simple recommendations and ideas on how to wage guerilla war. Basically an instruction manual for the beginner. (  ) mib | Jun 2, 2008 | The definitive "how-to" guide for revolution. (  ) mamorico | Nov 6, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review

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.
