Cuba publishes Che diary

Cuba published the diary of the  revolutionary "Che" Guevara, "Diary of a Combatant", which   recounts Che's experience  aboard the yacht Granma, and the revolutionary  three-year armed struggle in Cuba's Sierra Maestra.

Published by the Australian firm Ocean Press/Ocean Sur, the book was edited by the Che Guevara Studies Centre, which is directed by his widow Aleida March. The diary was first published in 1968, which carried accounts of the  ill-fated guerrilla campaign in Bolivia, in which he was captured by the Bolivian military and executed on October 9, 1967.

Born in Rosario, Argentina on June 14, 1928, Guevara met Castro in Mexico City in 1956 and joined the expedition of the Granma, which left Mexico with 82 men on board to overthrow the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista.
