Ernesto Guevara

Part experience report, part encouragement for anybody who like the author was an idealist concerned with the social situation of the vast majority of people in South America. He is convinced that Cuba could serve as an example for how to spark, maintain, grow and wind a popular revolt against an oppressive government in feudal South America, by starting as a small band of Guerilla in remote inaccessible regions, using peasant rights and land-reform as the main catalyst for change. Focuses more on the why than on how, on the pain and hardship than on battle-heroics but is ultimately hopeful if "the people", whoever that is, want something badly enough and are willing to sacrifice enough, they can ultimately overcome and wear out and "unjust" and "oppressive" enemy.
