Synopsis
This is a firsthand account of the military battles and political campaigns that culminated in the January 1959 revolution which overthrew the US-backed Batista dictatorship in Cuba. It shows how Guevara and other Rebel Army combatants were transformed by their experiences into into political leaders in Cuba. It explains how the revolution's social programme emerged out of class struggle experience by workers and peasants themselves, and how the Rebel Army and July 26 Movement grew into a revolutionary force capable of carrying out a socialist revolution in the years after 1959. This edition also contains letters and other documents written by Guevara during the war.
