Writings & Speeches Of Ernesto Che Guevara - great book!

[reggaetrain]

I bought a copy of a book called "Che Guevara & The Cuban Revolution: Writings & Speeches of Ernesto Che Guevara" a long time ago. and must say it is truly fascinating.

Has anyone else read it?

i was thinking of actualy buying it.

Does it have many of the harder to find writtings? you can find a few of his on the net, but some actictles i was looking for i couldn't really find.

he would travel to different countries and then write to some maganize about his views on the countries, does the book have stuff like that? or only his writtings about cuba.

It mainly deals with Cuban revolutionary war, but there is an introduction written by Fidel Castro, as well some of Che's personal letters and some photographs.

Pathfinder/Pacific and Asia, 1987

There is also another book that is mentioned in the back pages called "Nicaragua: The Sandinista Peoples Revolution - Speeches by Sandinista Leaders," but I have never found a copy anywhere :(

I'm afraid that if I read too much of one person's writing, I'll start sounding like them. What I mean is that I'll start adopting their exact same views......

hmm, sure, it wouldn't be too bad. But with how che's used in the media, a symbol of teen/social rebellion, I'd just be seen as another che "follower".... and especially being from the first world..... I'd be considered a fake-wannabe-poser-kid. But I suppose if I'm authentic about it, it just might work for me.......:cheesy:
