Mao first wrote the book in 1937 to convince Chinese political and military leaders that guerrilla style tactics were necessary for the Chinese to use in the Second Sino-Japanese War. 'Guerrilla Warfare' is a book by Marxist revolutionary Ernesto 'Che' Guevara (1928-67), that was written right after the Cuban Revolution and published in 1961. It soon became the guidebook for thousands of guerrilla fighters in various countries around the world. After his success in the Cuban Revolution, Che Guevara gained a global reputation as a rising revolutionary figure, which eventually led him to write 'Guerrilla Warfare'. In the manual, Guevara espouses three reasons for revolution, a lack of legitimacy by the incumbent elite to govern the country, the existence of tensions that cannot by redressed by regular channels, and all legal avenues to change the situation are perceived as closed. Although providing enough evidence and support for his ideas and tactics, Guevara on multiple occasions states that, while these tactics were effective for him and his men in Cuba, they will not necessarily be successful in other regions. Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart (1895-1970), commonly known throughout most of his career as Captain B. H. Liddell Hart, was an English soldier, military historian and military theorist. A scarce book.
