In this book, Mao Zedong argues for the extensive use of guerrilla warfare as a necessary strategy for the Chinese to resist Japanese invasion during the Second Sino-Japanese War. He explains that guerrilla warfare is a powerful tool that can only succeed if employed by revolutionaries and if it is integrated with regular military operations. The book covers various aspects of guerrilla warfare, including its historical context, organization, and the political and military relationships between guerrilla and regular forces. Mao emphasizes the importance of the support of the local population and the need for guerrilla units to be self-disciplined and committed to the revolutionary cause[3][4][5].
The Motorcycle Diaries is a posthumously published memoir of Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, recounting his 1952 journey across South America with his friend Alberto Granado. The book chronicles their adventures on a vintage Norton motorcycle, their interactions with various cultures, and the profound impact of witnessing social injustices, such as the exploitation of mine workers and the plight of lepers. This journey was formative in shaping Guevara's revolutionary sensibilities and his views on social change and Pan-Americanism.
