"Che Guevara's feats in our continent were of such magnitude that no prison or censorship could hide them from us. Che's life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom. We will always honor his memory."
Nelson Mandela
CHE in Africa is the previously untold story of Che Guevara's 'lost year' in Africa.
A year before his fateful Bolivia mission, Che Guevara led a group of guerrillas to support the Congolese liberation movement in 1965. Considerable speculation has always surrounded Guevara's disappearance from Cuba and why he went to fight in Africa.
The story behind the Congo mission is now revealed in this book, which includes Guevara's previously unpublished 'Congo Diary.' Guevara's diary assesses the role of figures within the African liberation movements, among them Partrice Lumumba and Laurent Kabila, leader of the 1997 overthrow of the Mobutu regime in Zaire (Congo).
