Guerrilla Warfare (Spanish: La Guerra de Guerrillas) is a military handbook written by Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara following the Cuban Revolution. It became a reference for thousands of guerrilla fighters in various countries around the world. The book draws upon Guevara's personal experience as a guerrilla soldier during the Cuban Revolution. The book identifies reasons for, prerequisites, and lessons of guerrilla warfare. The principal reason to conduct guerrilla warfare within a country is because all peaceful and legal means of recourse have been exhausted. The most important prerequisite for conducting guerrilla warfare in a country is the popular support of its people for the guerrilla army. Che asserted that the success of the Cuban Revolution provided three lessons: Popular forces can win a war against a regular army, Guerrillas can create their own favorable conditions (not needing to wait for ideal conditions to take shape), and in Underdeveloped America, the basic place of operation for a guerrilla army is the countryside.

Dear sirs: You are invited me to write a review of the book Guerrilla Warfare, from my countryman, Ernesto Guevara. Thank you for that.
It?s a short book, only 175 pages. Don?t hope to find here a great work of strategy or politics. Nor a handbook of tactics. It?s only a sort of aide-memoire for guerrilla fighters, with a handful of recommendations (how to ambush, how to attack an enemy camp, how not to waste ammo, how to build a first aid packet, etc.).
The political opinions delineated in this book, are, of course, very controversial.
Not hard to reed, in my opinion the principal value of this book is their author, the world wide known and leftwing icon, Ernesto ?Che? Guevara.
It is, anyhow, a classic in any library of war affairs.
