"Home will be the open sky... each guerrilla fighter is ready to die not just to defend an idea, but to make that idea a reality."

With an introduction by Fidel Castro, this is Che Guevara's famous last diary, found in his backpack after he was captured by the Bolivian Army in 1967, and which played a pivotal role in catapulting him to iconic status after his death. In 1967 Che Guevara left Cuba to lead the Bolivian Liberation Army. In the jungles of Bolivia they attempted to initiate a revolution like that in Cuba, in which Che had played such a central role. This fascinating diary describes the troubled guerrilla campaign until Che's final entry on the 7th October 1967 -- the day before his capture by the CIA-backed Bolivian Army and his execution.

Fascinating to admirers and adversaries alike, he captured the minds of millions with his leadership and his belief in guerrilla warfare as the only effective agent to achieve political change.
