Tells the story of Guevara's ill-fated final campaign in Bolivia, where he hoped to ignite a revolutin that would spread throughout South America. Shows in detail the strategy of the U.S. and Bolivian governments to foil his efforts. In particular, casts new light on the role of a Green Beret detachment sent to train the Bolivians and on the role of the CIA and other U.S. agencies. Serves "as a case history of U.S. counterinsurgency practices as they developed following World War II..." (taken from: Preface)
