Diario de Bolivia

Por Ernesto "Che" Guevara

Esta nueva edición comentada del Diario de Bolivia, a cargo de su nieto Canek Sánchez Guevara, contiene nuevas reflexiones sobre la última etapa de la vida del Che y aclara al máximo las identidades de los implicados en su guerrilla y las situaciones que provocaron aquellos acontecimientos.
Esta edición tiene cerca de 400 notas al pie con abundante información histórica, fragmentos de los diarios de otros guerrilleros, declaraciones de ex agentes de la CIA y de las fuerzas armadas bolivianas y un mapa que resume la ruta del Che en Bolivia.
Tal vez sorprenda que la imagen más difundida del siglo XX no represente a una estrella de rock, o de Hollywood y mucho menos a un hombre de negocios o a un deportista de éxito. Tampoco a a un poeta, un pintor, o a un científico. Ernesto Che Guevara no dirigió el destino de una potencia mundial y su imagen no fue resultado de una campaña mediática en sentido estricto, aunque podría decirse que ella es en sí misma una campaña con un mensaje reconocible. El Che es el hombre rebelde por excelencia pero él mismo fue ministro y banquero y dirigió juicios sumarísimos y ejecuciones. También fue un icono del voluntarismo, expresión máxima (o mínima, según quiera verse) de la acción revolucionaria y eje de la construcción de una sociedad nueva.

Ernesto "Che" Guevara

Ernesto Che Guevara was a doctor and communist figure in the Cuban Revolution who went on to become a guerrilla leader in South America. He was born in Argentina. Guevara became part of Fidel Castro’s efforts to overthrow the Batista government in Cuba. He served as a military advisor to Castro and led guerrilla troops in battles against Batista forces. Executed by the Bolivian army in 1967, he has since been regarded as a martyred hero by generations of leftists worldwide. Guevara’s image remains a prevalent icon of leftist radicalism and anti-imperialism.

Che Guevara waas more than just an icon on a T-shirt, in his time he was a real revolutionary who played a key part in the Cuban revolution and was aiming to overthrow South American dictatorships to free the people.

This book is a translation of the diary that he wrote when he was in Bolivia with a small team of revolutionaries. It is written with daily notes and reports on their progress as they move through the jungle, avoiding the army that is looking for them and talking to the peasants to get them onside.

They have some early success in skirmishes with the army, but as they go on they suffer from health issues and have to keep continually moving. Their small numbers mean that every battle counts, but as the number of men on the government side increases, they start to lose men and the initiative that they had. Before long they are caught and captured.

Takes a while to get going, and in the end isn't too bad as a read. It is full of facts about where they are and their progress, but throughout you get a sense of fear of the men as the net closes. The introduction is by Fidel Castro, and is a bit of a rant. Otherwise it is a reasonable read
