Review
"A delightful and important sequel to The Motorcycle Diaries... The reader is privileged to observe at first hand the birth of a revolutionary" RICHARD GOTT, from his Introduction
Product Description
In July 1953, recently graduated as a doctor at the University of Buenos Aires, Che Guevara decided to set off once again to explore the Latin American continent. His principal interest was in archaeology and politics, and his first stop was Bolivia, which had recently experienced a far-reaching revolution, and where he had the opportunity to study the Inca remains at Tiahuanaco and elsewhere. He moved on to Peru, visiting Cuzco, Macchu Picchu and Lima, and along the Andes to Guayaquil in Ecuador before sailing up the coast to Panama, Costa Rica and Guatemala, where he was caught up in the CIA overthrow of the Arbenz government, and later Mexico, where he was to meet Fidel Castro for the first time. Throughout his travels, the young Guevara kept a spasmodic diary in which he recorded his impressions of his two-year journey. It was an expedition which thousands of backpackers accomplish today, and thousands more dream about.

The next diaries following on from the motorcycle diaries. Further interesting information about Che's early life and further background information that helps flesh out why he chose his path. not as easy a read as the motorcylce diaries themselves but a good link to the memoir of the cuban revolutionary war.

Format:Paperback
this is a good if not brilliant account of ches travels through south america-its quite poetic at times and also funny as he and his mate bulls*** there way around exotic places on their old british motorbike-il pondereso-the powerful one. the two friends were completely broke most of the time and it is heartening to see the warmth and genorosity with which they were greeted-especially in chile and peru. if you are looking for an insight into how this trip might have turned him into a radical,you will be disappointed-there are glimpses of his humanitarianism when he visits a leper colony but its mostly about the two friends bid for survival and their adventures-all in all a very good read for avid che fans.
