A firsthand account of the 1966-68 revolutionary campaign in Bolivia led by Ernesto Che Guevara.

This is the story of Pombo-the nom de guerre of Harry Villegas, a young fighter still in his 20s, who was a member of Guevara's general staff. Villegas led the small group of combatants who survived the Bolivian army's encirclement and lived to recount this epic chapter in the history of the Americas.

"Most important in this volume is a never-published 135-page 'summary' of the escape to Chile of the remaining revolutionary troops . . . . Recommended for libraries with Latin American collections."-Library Journal

"Highly recommended reading for political and military history reading lists and will engage anyone with an interest in the memoirs of a most remarkable man."-Midwest Book Review
