Che Guevara Speaks: Selected Speeches and Writings

“A faithful reflection of Che as he was, or, better, as he developed”—from the preface by Joseph Hansen. In twenty speeches, interviews, and letters, Guevara dissects the workings of the imperialist system with scientific clarity, unflinching truthfulness, and biting humor. Cuba has shown by its example, he says, that “a people can liberate themselves and keep themselves free.”

Throughout the speeches and essays the warmness of the man comes through.... Nor has his death dimmed confidence in his ideas.... This little book is a useful guide in understanding why this has occurred. —Philip Foner, Hispanic American Historical Review.
