Brandstiftung oder neuer Fried? Reden und Aufsätze
by Ernesto Che Guevara
Rowohlt: Hamburg
The guerrilleros of Latin America are in for racking trouble in the next few years. Never protected by Moscow or helped by Peking, and now forsaken by Havana, they must fight on alone. But reduced in numbers, at odds with each other, short of allies and resources, nearly out of room to maneuver, they are hardly up to defending themselves, much less 'liberating' the continent. Their strategy itself is in confusion, for they bear a prodigious legacy—that of the most attractive revolutionary the West has seen in thirty years, 'El Che' Guevara, the meaning of whose life has come into question.
