Che Guevara's death began a legend and closed an era. Based
directly on the documents produced by the guerrillas themselves,
this is the first comprehensive history of that era.
In theory, immense disparity in local wealth combined with the
heavy hand of "Yankee imperialism" laid the ground for revolution.
In practice, however, circumstances conspired to thwart the plans
of the revolutionary guerrillas. The Latin American Left was, and
remains, seriously divided between Moscow-oriented Communists,
Trotskyists, Maoists, pro-Cubans and simple nationalists. The rural
guerrillas sought to spark off revolution through armed struggle.
Yet they found themselves increasingly involved in ideological
conflict with the Communists in the cities whilst rural support was
rarely forthcoming with the peasants more mystified than
enlightened by revolutionary rhetoric. Meanwhile government forces,
with military intelligence support from the United States, evolved
steadily more efficient techniques for dealing with the guerrillas.
