By Ernesto "Che" Guevara
"Che Guevara's feats in our continent were of such
magnitude that no prison or censorship could hide them from us.
Che's life is an inspiration for every human being who loves
freedom. We will always honor his memory."
—Nelson Mandela
Ernesto "Che" Guevara was one of the greatest
exemplars of the revolutionary 1960s, an essential player in the
Cuban Revolution whose legend fired the imaginations of a a whole
generation. In 1965, amid worldwide conjecture, Guevara left
Cuba, where he was a leader in the
revolutionary government, and traveled incognito to the
heart of Africa. People's hero Patrice Lumumba had been
assassinated, and Guevara went to help the people of Congo throw off the yoke of Western imperialism.
For the first time, The African Dream collects Guevara's
unabridged journals of the expedition. Most of all, the diaries
afford the reader a very personal insight into the thoughts and
emotions of Che Guevara, the twentieth century's great
revolutionary martyr.
