Guerrilla Warfare: Che Guevara

Rating:
Summary: Shame, Shame on you.
Review: This is actually a review of the reviews. It would appear that persons who read about revolution and guerrilla warfare are a bit illiterate. They seem unable to spell correctly, and have a problem with sentence fragments. Che would have laughed, had he been able to read English. Regardless, it takes very little education to fire a rifle, throw a Molotov cocktail or burn villages. Keep your soul, keep the peace.

Summary: Buy this!!
Review: This is the only "how-to" book you will ever need to buy. Do you wonder what it takes to start up your own guerilla? This book will guide you to a better, helthier, more fair and socialistic life. If you decide NOT to buy this, you are brobably not interested in a better place to live in. This should be the bible for all revolutionaries.

Summary: very detailed war book
Review: This is very detailed about technics of war. While many of these techniques are out of date it is still applicable in some respects. But if your not a Marxist or native american I would buy another book.

Summary: Hero...or villain?
Review: To all those that say that Mr Guevara is your hero, I wonder if your hero worship would include emulation of such deeds as summarily executing a child soldier who took "too much" food, or other such atrocities that have no place in any revolution. I leave it to you to decide whether or not Che was a true hero, but there can be no doubt that his knowledge of guerilla warfare was supurb, and that opression leads to revolution, and that a guerilla insurgency cannot flourish without the will of the people. I may not hold Che to be my hero, but I do find his theories of guerilla insurgency stil valid to this day, and for that, I do respect his theories, if not his brutal actions.

Summary: This book can change your life. Please give it a chance.
Review: Without a doubt, this is one of the greatest books of our time...and it's one of the most prolific texts i've ever read. Che here summarizes the basic technique of guerilla warfare, its purpose, its results, and its cause, in the context of his success in many guerilla conflicts throughout the late 1950's and the early 1960's. Even more fascinating than the techniques of guerilla war is the inspiration and motivation with which Che calls forth oppresed peoples of the world to take their lives into their own hands in socialist revolution. He writes with near-poetic passion, with a sincere desire to help the world. In summary, this book is an outstanding, prolific work. If you've never read anything of the sort, it could change your thinking.
