“Che guevara -symbol of struggle” by Tony Saunois

As the revolt against neo-liberalism and capitalism gathers momentum throughout Latin America the figure of Che Guevara has gained renewed popularity as a symbol of struggle against imperialism and capitalism and for a socialist alternative. In this book Tony Saunois follows the life of Che Guevara as a revolutionary fighter, his role in the Cuban revolution, discusses his ideas about guerrillaism and the attitude of Marxists towards them. These and the lessons from Che’s struggle for a new generation fighting for a socialist alternative form a central theme of this book.
