The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto (Che) Guavara
An amazing account of the journey by the engaging author and his chum Alberto motor-biking and hitchhiking round South America in 1952. Braving horrific conditions and short of money at times, they resorted to begging to avoid starvation. Medically trained, they were able to measure the shortcomings of the facilities for treating the poor and this experience clearly contributed to Che's motivation in the years ahead.
