The Fall of Che Guevara tells the story of Guevara's last campaign,
in the backwoods of Bolivia, where he hoped to ignite a revolution
that would spread throughout South America. For the first time,
this book shows in detail the strategy of the U.S. and Bolivian
governments to foil his efforts. Based on numerous interviews and
on secret documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act
from the CIA, the State Department, the Pentagon, and the National
Security Archive, this work casts new light on the roles of a Green
Beret detachment sent to train the Bolivians and of the CIA and
other U.S. agencies in bringing Guevara down.
Ryan's shows that Guevara was an agent of Cuban foreign policy
from the time he met Fidel Castro in 1955 until his death--not a
mere independent revolutionary, as many scholars have claimed.
Guevara's attempted insurgency in Bolivia was in reality a Cuban
attempt to achieve another badly-needed revolutionary success.
This dramatic account of the last days of Che Guevara will appeal
to scholars and students of United States foreign policy and Latin
American history, and to all those interested in this
revolutionary's remarkable life.
