Boliviaans dagboek

Więcej o książce

This diary, Che Guevara's last, was compiled from notebooks found in his knapsack after his capture by the Bolivian army in October 1967, leading to his execution. It serves as the foundation for a new biopic directed by Steven Soderbergh, featuring Benicio del Toro as Che. Revised by Che's widow, who initially transcribed it, this edition offers a definitive account of his efforts to ignite a continent-wide revolution in Latin America. The publication history is intriguing; initially released in extracts by the CIA to undermine Che's guerrilla movement and justify mass arrests, it also played a role in the trial of Regis Debray and fueled speculation about a romance between Che and Tania, who will be portrayed by Franka Potente in Soderbergh's film. This new edition includes a preface by Che's eldest son, Camilo Guevara, along with new materials such as photos, maps, documents, and a glossary developed with the Che Guevara Studies Center in Havana. Additionally, it features memoirs from guerrillas who fought alongside Che in Bolivia. The Soderbergh film will draw from this diary and another title, Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War, both published by Ocean Press in fall 2005.
