karinlib's review against another edition

This book wasn't as engaging as Guevara's first journey across Latin America, but this second trip is a glimpse into his interest in politics. There were times in this where I felt that a lot was missing, that I was walking into the middle of a conversation.
Latin American Diaries takes place between 1953 and 1956. Guevara is present during a military take over in Guatemala, meets Fidel Castro in Mexico City in 1955, and spends a lot of time reading up on Marx and Engel.
By the end of the book, it is really difficult to tell exactly how he decided to join Castro, but it is clear that he has.

I may be in the minority, but personally this book was superior in my opinion to the motorcycle diaries. An interesting insight into 20th century Latin America and the development of Che’s political beliefs.

The second half was a lot more interesting than the first half.
The casual way war is treated/spoken of is sickenly blasé.

Este es interesante ya que cuenta su segundo viaje de una manera en que se perciben los cambios tan importantes en su vida, entre ellos su llegada a México con Hilda Gadea, y su reunión con los cubanos. En Pasajes de la guerra revolucionaria detalla precisamente su encuentro con Fidel, mientras que en este, las cartas integradas a la edición resultan relevantes en contraste con su pensamiento y lo que le comunica a su madre respecto de los amigos cubanos.
Muy corto pero vale la pena, tiene párrafos cargados de significado posterior, como si se reconociera ya personaje histórico; como en todo lo que escribió antes, esta decidido.
En un documental, un campesino cubano miembro de su guerrilla dice que Ernesto fue el único verdaderamente revolucionario entre los lideres del movimiento guerrillero. Interesante pensarlo.
