· Notes for the Study of Man and Socialism in Cuba
Guevara wrote 'Notes for the Study of Man and Socialism in Cuba' in the form of letter to Carlos Quijano, editor of Marcha, an independent radical weekly published in Montevideo, Uruguay. It bore the dateline 'Havana, 1965.' In addition to appearing in March, it was printed by Verde Olivo, the magazine of the Cuban armed forces.

· Afro-Asian Conference
One of Che's most important speeches, in this speech Che criticized the USSR the first time in the public.

· Notes for the Study of the Ideology of the Cuban Revolution
Guevara wrote 'Notes for the Study of the Ideology of the Cuban Revolution' for the October 8, 1960, issue of Verde Olivo, the magazine of Cuba's armed forces.

· Mobilising the Masses for the Invasion
The following is from a speech by Guevara to sugar workers in Santa Clara on March 28, 1961, twenty days before the Bay of Pigs invasion.

· Message to the Tricontinental
"America has a task: to create a second or a third Vietnam, or the second and third Vietnam of the world." — Che's most important and most popular writing.

· May Day Speech
In Havana the May Day celebration begins the night before, and a speech at that time by Guevara soon became a tradition. The selections here are from his speech of April 30, 1963, at the Garcia Lorca Theatre. The meeting, honouring Cuba's outstanding workers and technicians for the year 1962, was held under the joint auspices of the Cuban Confederation of Labour-Revolutionary (CTC~R) and the Ministry of Industry, which Guevara headed.

· Cadres for the New Party
Unlike previous revolutions of this century, the Cuban Revolution had to build its party after coming to power. Here, Guevara discusses the problems of selecting the cadre, i.e., that core of trained, active and responsible members that will educate the new recruits and that will embody the party's stability and continuity. The excerpts are from Guevara's article, 'The Cadre, Backbone of the Revolution', in the September, 1962, issue of Cuba Socialista.

· Guerrilla Warfare: A Method
Guevara's name is indissolubly linked with guerrilla warfare — in practice as well as theory. In Mexico he had been the outstanding student in the training that preceded embarkation on the Granma. In the Sierra Maestra he had risen to the rank of comandante (major), the highest conferred in the Rebel Army. His most celebrated book was Guerrilla Warfare. And, of course, he met his death in the course of the guerrilla fighting in Bolivia. The following is the complete text of his article, 'Guerrilla Warfare: A Method' in Cuba Socialista of September, 1963.

· Cuba: Exceptional Case or Vanguard in the Struggle against Colonialism?
The following selection is from Guevara's article "Cuba: Exceptional Case or Vanguard in the Struggle against Colonialism? " in the April 9, 1961, issue of Verde Olivo, the magazine of Cuba's armed forces.

· A Neglected Interview with Che
Two Chinese Communist journalists, K'ung Mai and Ping An, interviewed Che Guevara at his home on April 18, 1959, or, as they put it, on "the 108th evening after the victory of the revolution." Though Peking radio and the New China News Agency in London gave summaries and a few direct quotations from it, the interview was not reported in any of Peking's three leading newspapers. It was, however, published in full in the lesser-known journal Shih-chieh Chih-shih (World Knowledge) of June 5, 1959. This neglected interview apparently never appeared in Cuba, nor was it translated from the Chinese into any other language until William E. Ratliff published a complete English translation, thoroughly documented and annotated, in the Hispanic American Historical Review of August, 1966.

· At the United Nations
On December 9, 1964, Ernesto Che Guevara left Cuba for New York, where he was scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly as the first stop on a three-month trip that took him to eight African countries.
