You mean the Cuban diary?
the one he wrote while he was in Bolivia

Yeah, that's my favourite coz the outcome of the revolution is never certain (in Congo, for example, reading the diary, it's clear that the revolution had no chance) and it was a purely guerilla, rural war
i personnaly liek the motorcycle diarythe best, because you can see his slow change to the che we know him as
The bolivian diary is brilliant
Che Guevara wannabe
You talk about his diaries as in they are novels but not descriptions of real events...no offence..but I don´t think saying "it´s brilliant" is the right description
I am a great admiror of Che´s works (his books that is)
because they show how good people can get and strong if they have the rigt thing to fight for....
angry i think you have misinterpretted what i was trying to say.
Che Guevara wannabe
I liked the bolivian diary. Towards the end I got the feeling Che knew he wouldn't suceed and that he really should have left and tried elsewhere.

It was an intense period for Cuba, and for Che. Fidel, regardless of what you've read, was obviously trying to get rid of him, as Russians were not impressed with Che's public disapproval of Soviet policies, so Che needed to set a new path for himself.
Sadly, the logistics, planning and exectution of the campaign were disastrous, and things were doomed the day Che set foot in Bolivia.
The book changed a lot of my preconceptions about the relationship between Fidel and Che, about the nature of Fidel's policies and even his "Necessary Introduction" was good enought to pick out a few points about his charachter...
I'm not demonizing Fidel, but we all know where the two men are now, and what everyone thinks of them both...
The prolonged barrage engulfed Zero-One in the glow of a thousand suns. But unlike their former masters with their delicate flesh, the machines had little to fear of the bombs' radiation and heat. Thus did Zero-One's troops advance outwards in every direction. And one after another, mankind surrendered its territories. So the leaders of men conceived of their most desperate strategy yet. A final solution: the destruction of the sky.

I read his diary. Teehee.
the bolivian diary is sad - you already know the outcome but every time you read it you just HOPE it ends differently!! - did anyone see the program "who killed che guevara " on discovery?
I enjoyed reading through Che's reminiscences of the Cuban revolution starting with the Granma until Batista was toppled. It shows how dedication and the unwillingness to give up can make anything happen. Plus you see what Che is all about. Sure he was a hardass, and traitors and detractors paid with their lives but that needed to be because if his men weren't more dedicated than Batista's superior army then it would be over before it started. And let's be honest Cuba was the best thing that ever happened to Che besides his daughter.
Until the final victory...
I saw a documentry made by some Swedes about Ciro Bustos...supposedly the "Judas" who sold out Che. Seemingly there was evidence which suggested that some parts of the Bolivian diary were fabrications. It turned out looking very much like the French guy (I can't recall his name) was the guilty one......He was interviewed and definitly didn't want to be there...later the documentry makers discovered that French guy had made a deal with the Bolivian Army, and told them about Che being there...
What do youse reckon?
-insert witty phrase in between two equals sign here-
I've read the motorcyclediary (wich was GREAT experience!) and the Cuban diary, wich also was good.
In Finland we don't have other ones. *waah*
