The Bolivian Diary is a record of Che's final campaign. He was dead 24 hours after his last entry. It consists of notes he intended to expand, but it was not to be.

But surprisingly, a member of the Bolivian government photocopied the diary and sent it to Cuba.

It is refreshing to read Che in his own words since so much has been written about him by his detractors. On the one hand there is an intimacy to his diaries –because he wrote them for himself – which reveals the person rather than the public persona. But on the other, when he is writing about politics and revolutions, we encounter a driven man who was a committed socialist even in his sleep.
