Guerrilla Warfare by Ernesto Che
Guevara
Careful
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.
Personal Review: Guerrilla Warfare by Ernesto Che Guevara
For those of you who want to start your own guerrilla group, be careful.
Don't take it as a mechanical blueprint and a sure and shining path to
revolutionary success.

As history has demonstrated, "foquismo" is not the answer: just take a look
to the the fateful ELN's "foco" in the bolivian east, that ended with the
death of Che Guevara; the defeated "foquista" experiment of the Pancasan
sandinista guerrilla in Nicaragua; the Tucuman's "foco" of the argentinian
ERP; the chilean MIR's "foco" in Neltume; the peruvian MIR "foquista"
experiment of Luis De La Puente Uceda on The Andes; the first and
squashed "foquista" intents of the guatemalan FAR; and the tragic result of
the Lucio Cabaña's "foco" in Guerrero, Mexico.
So take it as an historic lesson of how not to do it. If you want to make it
right: you better read Mao or Ho Chi Minh.
For the iraqi and afghan guerrilla's lessons, we'll have to wait for their
leaders to write their memoirs and teachings.
PS: I had a coarse and horrible copy of this book when I was a teenager,
in a time and land when having this kind of stuff could mean probably
ending up "desaparecido".
