Summary:
"Ernesto "Che" Guevara was a radical icon, an essential part of the
Cuban Revolution whose legend continues to inspire new generations.
Back on the Road chronicles his travels through Latin America once
again (Otra Vez as it was titled in Spanish), showing the transition
from The Motorcycle Diaries' youthful idealism into Che's later
continental sense of justice and oppression; and culminating in his
introduction to the man with whom he would translate his political
fervor into action. On this trip, Guevara saw the mountains and
deserts of Bolivia, the Inca remains at Machu Picchu and Cuzco; he
sailed up the Pacific Coast from Ecuador to Panama and met his first
wife in Guatemala. But he also witnessed the CIA overthrow of
Guatemalan president Jacobo Arbenz and, seeking out Mexico City's
population of radical expatriates, he met Fidel Castro. Back on the
Road provides a vital link between The Motorcycle Diaries and the
Cuban Revolution, offering an indispensable portrait of the gestation
of a revolutionary mind."--BOOK JACKET.
