Che's "second reminiscence", between Cuba and Bolivia, is a concise and lucid retrospective by a man - love him or hate him - who was ruthlessly honest in all he saw and did: and with himself most of all. Although long obscured due to the classified nature of his African mission, the passage of time - and the need to burnish the Revolution's icons - permitted the release of this all-too-candid and unflattering account of revolutionary export. The African operation was a Cuban/Soviet version of a CIA "special operation," sending Che as adviser to transform the floundering Congolese national revolution. His self-criticisms offer a "noble high road" - 'tis the poor general who blames his troops, etc. - but the basic faults here were not his. The real lesson taken from the Congo (mis)adventure is the impossibility - even for Che - of forging a revolutionary vanguard from silly putty. Contrast this with Angola, where a long struggle against the Portuguese and then invasion from apartheid South Africa, forged a national morale (and thus a leadership) totally lacking in the Congo. True enough that Angola would not have survived without Cuba, but in Angola there was something to work with.The real "soul" of the book is its concluding analysis and prognosis. Here Che shows a transcendent vision of continuous revolutionary war too divorced from the concrete, which would soon lead to his downfall on the other side of the world. The truth is that the "Third World" is not so neatly transformed into a battlefield of ideas; the planet not so easily divided into exploited and exploiter nations. As Che noted, it's not so easy to purge "colonial" and "imperialist" ideas from an entire society as from one's self. And just as Che was dependent on the Cuban state for his mission, his grand vision needed the cold war for its battleground. At most, the Third World's "Vietnams" could cause momentary setbacks and moral crises, as in France, South Africa, the US and the USSR. But they could not defeat the 20th century's entrenched power system in a global apocalypse. The cost was too great for the average human, whom Che envied for an attachment to real life he could't share. Hence the pragmatic deal-making in Africa that "betrayed" the African Dream. Congo was a precursor - then unforeseeable - to the fate of the cold war itself.This also raises the question of Cuba's focus on African liberation. Che's adventure in 1965 was the precursor to an intensive intervention in Africa, most spectacularly in Angola (as noted above) which transcended Cuban involvement in its Latin American "base." This was presented as an act of internationalist solidarity against European racism and colonialism, which has merit as far as it goes. Dig deeper and one sees a domestic agenda, to bridge Cuba's own racial divide at home, still pervasive to this day. Identifying the Revolution with black Africa's liberation further integrated under-represented black Cubans and made blackness a national asset, a cause for all good revolutionaries regardless of color. Ties with Africa cemented cross-racial relations at home.Worth a read by all political "missionaries" dealing with the transformation of "hearts and minds" unready to accept truths not of their own making.
This is one of the best that I have ever read!!! Sometimes I felt I was actually there with Che!
the book helps to give a small glimpse of Che's thoughts, feelings, and experiences in the Congo and the challenges and differences from South and Latin America that he was encountering
An excellent guide int Che's 'adventure' into the dark continent. As usual Ernie is honest and truthful about what he sees are his faults(smoking and reading) and why this mission was a 'failure......
This book has the wrong title (the subtitle "The Diaries of the Revolutionary War in the Congo" should be the title). And it has an introduction by liberal "Cuba expert" Richard Gott, who shows his expertise by writing "In her foreword to this book, Aleida March, Guevara's widow reveals how Castro had found the text "extremely interesting...." But anyone familiar with Spanish names or who even reads the foreword (you can skip the introduction, but definitely read the forward), can tell that the forward was written not by Che's widow, but by his daughter, Aleida Guevara March!Aleida Guevara March starts out by disagreeing with Che's words "This is the history of a failure." She's not the only one with that assessment. Víctor Dreke, in his book From the Escambray to the Congo: In the Whirlwind of the Cuban Revolution says that "I think today, thirty-four years later, we see the positive result of that action. The action of those compañeros who fell in the Congo was not in vain. As Raúl Castro said in 1985, the Congo operation was multiplied in other actions in Africa. The experience we gained made it possible for us to aid the liberation struggles in Guinea-Bissau, Angola, and other places." Dreke's book should be read as a supplement to this.Piero Gleijeses traces the history of Cuban involvement, including the importance of the Congo mission in Conflicting Missions: Havana, Washington, and Africa, 1959-1976 and it's sequel Visions of Freedom: Havana, Washington, Pretoria, and the Struggle for Southern Africa, 1976-1991 (New Cold War History). It shows the the role Cuban troops played in defeating the South African Army in Angola, about which Nelson Mandela said in a speech in Cuba:"The decisive defeat of the aggressive apartheid forces destroyed the mythof the invincibility of the white oppressor. The defeat of the apartheid armyserved as an inspiration to the struggling people of South Africa. Without thedefeat of Cuito Cuanavale our organizations would not have been legalized. Thedefeat of the racist army in Cuito Cuanavale made it possible for me to be herewith you today. Cuito Cuanavale marks the divide in the struggle for theliberation of southern Africa. Cuito Cuanavale marks an important step in thestruggle to free the continent and our country of the scourge of apartheid."(You can find the full text and Castro's response in How Far We Slaves Have Come! South Africa and Cuba in Today's World).For a popular account of Cuba's role in Angola, read Cuba and Angola: Fighting for Africa's Freedom and Our Own. For background on the Congo, read The Assassination of Lumumba.And for more Che, read Episodes of the Cuban Revolutionary War, 1956-58 and The Bolivian Diary of Ernesto Che Guevara. The Pathfinder editions include material that is not in any of the other editions.And for more on what Cuba in doing in Africa today, and on Víctor Dreke's later life, read Capitalism and the Transformation of Africa. And everyone interested in social change in Africa should read Thomas Sankara Speaks: The Burkina Faso Revolution 1983-87, which includes Sankara's tributes to Che and to Cuba.Cuba just sent 165 doctors and nurses to Sierra Leone to combat Ebola, the biggest commitment of personnel to the health crisis so far by any country in the world! Then 9/26/2014, they announced they're sending close to 300 more!
