Encyclopedia Britannica, "Che Guevara: Argentine-Cuban revolutionary". Here the Latin American revolutionary figure recollects his experiences of fighting guerilla warfare and of orchestrating Cuba's socialist revolution. Guevara believed a complete social revolution was the only remedy to abject poverty that he witnessed in Central America. He served as both a doctor and a soldier in the Cuban Revolutionary War, and was later killed in Bolivia fighting on behalf of leftist revolutionaries there. A Very Good+ book with a touch of fading to the edges of the boards and a spot of foxing to the top textblock; jacket is Near Fine with minor edge wear.
