Tania: Undercover with Che Guevara
in Bolivia
By Ulises Estrada
“Tania” is a gripping account of the extraordinary woman who fought and died alongside Che Guevara in Bolivia. As her companero in Cuba, Ulises Estrada is uniquely placed to provide a candid political biography of a passionate and intelligent young woman, fearlessly dedicated to the liberation of Latin America in the 1960s.
Tania became one of Cuba’s most successful agents in Latin America, penetrating Bolivian high society and preparing the way for Che Guevara’s clandestine entry into the country.
Ulises Estrada was a central figure in Cuba’s support for revolutionary and liberation movements in Latin America and Africa. He was a key organizer of Che Guevara’s guerrilla mission to Bolivia.
