An important idea in this chapter and throughout the entire book is the idea of the guerilla as a social reformer who takes the subjective conditions of revolution and then objectifies them through his action. In this chapter Che discusses the general strategies and tactics that the guerilla will employ as well as a discussion of the types of territory that will be more or less favorable to conduct guerilla war.Ĭhapter 2 focuses on the organization and structure of the guerilla band itself. The first chapter focuses on the general principles of guerilla warfare including an abstract discussion of the social role of the guerilla fighter and the role he plays in the global communist revolution. The book is divided into three chapters each with several sub-sections. Che discusses all of the main aspects of guerilla warfare in this text and tries to take his experience in Cuba and then to generalize from that experience to gather general principles that he can impart to the would-be revolutionary. Guerilla Warfare is a manual written by Ernesto "Che" Guevara to instruct the reader in the proper method to wage a guerilla war against a non-communist regime.
