Who was Ernesto "Che" Guevara? Describe the three phases through which guerrilla revolutions based on the Cuban experience are typified. What was the goal of Guevara's strategy?

What will be an ideal response?


• Guevara was born in Argentina in 1928
• Earned a medical degree at the University of Buenos Aires.
• Turned his attention from medicine to the plight of the poor.
• He believed poverty and repression were problems that transcended nationalism and revolution was the only means of challenging authority.
• He served the communist regime of Guatemala in 1954 but fled to Mexico City when communists were purged from the government where he met Castro.
• Fidel Castro's assistant and guerrilla warfare theorist.
• Wrote Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War which appeared in the United States in 1961; the book enjoyed mass distribution at the end of the decade.
• Guevara-style revolution begins with isolated groups.
• In phase two, the isolated groups merge into guerrilla columns.
• The final phase brings columns together in a conventional army.
• The goal of the strategy is to develop a conventional fighting force, or at least a force that renders the conventional opponent impotent.
