A historical document worth reading is The Bolivian Diary, written by Che during his final revolutionary campaign in Bolivia before he and his small band of comrades were tracked down and caught by the Bolivian Army and he was summarily executed and buried in a secret grave by the US CIA.
If you can read Spanish, read the original Spanish version. Some parts of the pages of the diary got smudged with sweat and rain and blood, and different interpretations of some of those passages have been published, even in Spanish, but more so in English versions.
Che's Bolivian Diary - (found an audio here) the last thing he ever wrote before being captured/gunned down.
Being a revolutionary was damn hard work and he suffered ill-health despite having mucho grande cahones. He also ran a campaign in the Congo in '65.
This might sound weird, but Che Guevara is a good example of this. Check out The Motorcycle Diaries to see him as a medical student on a road trip through South America with his buddy and then follow it up with Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolution to see him as a young guerilla during the Cuban Revolution, and finally check out The Bolivian Diary which chronicles his 1966-67 guerilla campaign in Bolivia which ultimately ended with his capture and death.
