Der Partisanenkrieg – Ernesto Che Guevara – SPARTANAT Red Book 13

Always until victory – “Hasta la victoria siempre!”

“The Guerrilla War” is Che Guevara's legendary book about guerrilla warfare.

“Hasta la victoria siempre!” This is the motto associated with Che and the Cuban Revolution. The doctor from Argentina tried to spread the revolution to many countries and ended up as an icon of communism.

In “Der Partisanenkrieg,” Ernesto Che Guevara explains how guerrillas should fight.

• A critical introduction places the text in its historical context
• Partisan tactics: the basics of combat
• What to do: the partisan as a fighter
• Sabotage & propaganda: the organized partisan front
• Illegal organization & hard-won power

Che's book was translated into German just two years after its publication and published in 1962 by the GDR's military publishing house. This book is the first German edition in a new print run. In his book, the poster boy of the revolution proves himself to be a theorist of guerrilla warfare, explaining how partisans must organize themselves in order to be successful.
