The works of Mao are far better and Mao was a far better Guerrilla general than Che was (as proved by the Bolivian adventure). In addition to this Mao's works have been applied successfully in other countries, while Che's theories have been astounding failures everywhere apart from Cuba (where the Batista regime was on its last legs anyway).

However Che has greater sex appeal than Mao.

So it isn't, I thought this was just another thread telling people to read Che's deeply flawed works on Guerrilla Warfare. It's only one step down from people recomending the 'minimanual of the urban guerrilla' which has failed on no less than a dozen occations that I can think of off the top of my head.

What is your point, and what has your last post to do with the topic?

It is, in my opinion, a very good manual. But ironically, Colonel Bayo trained the M-26 movement. He trained Che.

How about reading it, and if you feel the need to criticize after reading it, then criticize..
