"Che Guevara on Guerrilla Warfare" by Ernesto (Che) Guevara. This is a great book that Che wrote himself. I saw it available not long ago on

www.abebooks.com (http://www.abebooks.com)

This is a good book to read in conjunction with "Mao on Guerrilla Warfare." You can see the similarities and differences in the tactics and strategies used in the two struggles.

Perhaps Fidel Castro's Autobiography might be good? I believe he covers the revolution quite well.

I read a great book called Che Guevara a revolutionary life. The majority of the book focuses on the Cuban Revolution.

yeah it was written by an American, but he shows fact over opinion and was a good read I thought.

I'm not sure if there are any books or essays translated into English, but may I suggest you look up the works of Celia Hart?

She is a renown author, physicist and ex-member of the Cuban Communist party.

Hope that helps.
