The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto Che Guevara
Che Guevaras riotous diaries charting his motorcycle odyssey from Argentina through Chile and Peru ending finally in Venezuela.‘It’s true: Marxists just wanna have fun’ Guardian
'What distinguishes these diaries is that they reveal a human side to El Che which historians have successfully managed to suppress…one senses El Che's belief that determination and conviction can be enough to change one's self and others…a joy to read from start to finish.' Financial Times
'Political incorrectness galore…his book should do much to humanise the image of a man who found his apotheosis as a late Sixties cultural icon. It is also, incidentally, a remarkably good travel book about South America.' Scotsman
‘Politically-correct revolutionary hero? Perhaps a few years later, but in this account Che Guevara comes over as one of the lads.’ Bike News
