He kept notes in a diary and, after the revolutionary triumph, these helped him write a series of accounts he published in the Verde Olivo (Olive Green) magazine. Later they appeared in the book, Episodes of the Cuban Revolutionary War.
From the time of the military campaign in the Sierra Maestra, Che was particularly concerned with the dissemination of ideas and news related to the struggle to overthrow the tyranny of Fulgencio Batista.
