With nearly 400 footnotes, excerpts from the diaries of other guerrillas, and statements from CIA agents, the book unravels the key identities and situations of the Bolivian guerrilla movement. More than a simple testimony, it is a tool for historical analysis that invites reflection on the myth and reality of one of the 20th century's most iconic figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eBolivian Diary\u003c\/em\u003e compiles the meticulous record that Ernesto Che Guevara kept during his guerrilla campaign in Bolivia, from his arrival in November 1966 to his capture in October 1967. This new edition, annotated by his grandson Canek Sánchez Guevara, is not limited to transcribing the original diary but enriches it with an exhaustive critical apparatus. Through footnotes, the protagonists are identified, events that shaped the course of the guerrilla movement are clarified, and complementary documents are provided, such as excerpts from the diaries of other combatants and testimonies from former CIA and Bolivian army agents. The book also includes a map that summarizes the route taken by Che, offering a geographical and strategic vision of the campaign. The work not only narrates the events but also invites reflection on the construction of the Che myth, contrasting his image as a universal rebel with his role as a minister and banker in Cuba, and his participation in summary trials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bolivian guerrilla movement as the final chapter of Che's revolutionary struggle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical analysis and the reconstruction of events through documentary sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure of Che Guevara: between the revolutionary myth and historical reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relations between the guerrillas, the Bolivian army, and the CIA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFamily memory and the critical revision of a legacy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the contemporary history of Latin America, the figure of Che Guevara, and 20th-century revolutionary movements.
