Congo Diary by Che Guevara

A first-person account of a revolutionary expedition in 1960s central Africa, this diary chronicles the hopes, daily struggles and eventual disillusionment of an internationalist guerrilla effort to support local insurgents; it records harsh jungle conditions, logistical failures, political factionalism, language barriers and the fighters’ lack of discipline, while offering candid reflections on the practical and moral lessons of guerrilla warfare and the limits of exporting revolution.
