Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War
The dramatic and entertaining account of the revolution in Cuba, from the architect of its success
‘We were an army of shadows, of ghosts, walking as if to the beat of some dark psychic mechanism'
The Cuban Revolution changed the course of the twentieth century. Following years of brutal tyranny and poverty, a band of idealistic young people fought against immense odds to overthrow a dictator and emerged victorious. This is the story of how they did it.
Che Guevara's classic eyewitness account chronicles the transformation of a country, and of Che himself, from troop doctor to revolutionary icon.
'Powerful and poetic ... For anyone interested in the myth of Che Guevara ... this book is essential reading' — Colm Tóibín, Observer
'Che's life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom' — Nelson Mandela

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
