This indispensable book includes three of Che Guevara's most influential essays describing his tactical philosophy
of fighting a guerrilla war in Latin America. Guerrilla Warfare, written in 1960, outlines Guevara's doctrine for
guerrilla fighters, especially against Caribbean-style dictatorships. In Guerrilla Warfare: A Method (1963) and
Message to the Tricontinental (1967), Guevara modified some of his earlier tenets. These latter two works move
away from his earlier dogmatism, suggesting that Marxist revolution was possible even in purportedly democratic
regimes. All three essays reflect his deeply held belief that a small, rural-based guerrilla army could trigger
a revolution.
