[0867-2300] THE ANDEAN PAPER CHASE – Companion Dossier (PDF)

Description

On the midnight of October 12, 1967, inside a rain-lashed government office in La Paz, CIA operative Félix Rodríguez methodically photographed a damp, ink-stained green notebook. It was the operational diary of Ernesto “Che” Guevara, captured days earlier at Quebrada del Yuro alongside his pipe, severed wristwatch, and routed guerrilla vanguard. The Andean Paper Chase Dossier deconstructs this pivotal Cold War intelligence coup through fully annotated declassified cables, field maps, and military logs. Follow the fatal unraveling of Guevara’s continental insurgency across the arid ravines of Ñancahuazú, from his covert entry disguised as a Uruguayan businessman to the disastrous political rift with the Bolivian Communist Party. Detailed profiles evaluate the interrogation files of Régis Debray and Ciro Bustos, tracing how sketch maps and intelligence leaks sealed the guerrilla column’s fate. Complete with high-resolution document facsimiles, forensic timelines, and order-of-battle analyses of the U.S.-trained Bolivian Rangers, this companion dossier provides an unflinching look at the forensic paper war that shaped Latin American history.
