ITEM OVERVIEW
These journals chronicle Guevara's second trip through Latin America as his youthful idealism was developing into the political fervor that made him a revolutionary icon. He saw the mountains and deserts of Bolivia, the Inca remains at Machu Piccu and Cuzco, the forests of Guatemala; he sailed up the Pacific coast from Ecuador to Panama and met his first wife in Honduras; he witnessed the CIA overthrow of Jacoba Arbenz in Guatemala; and, in Mexico, he was introduced to an ambitious young man named Fidel Castro. A vital link between The Motorcycle Diaries and the Cuban Revolution.
