...only underestimated the army's capability: he also misjudged the mood of the campesinos, who wanted nothing to do with his revolution. To recruit guerrillas, Che had to hire men off the streets with promises of jobs, then terrorize them into fighting for him. "The inhabitants of the region are as impenetrable as rocks," he scribbled in his notebook. "You talk to them, and in the depths of their eyes it can be seen that they don't believe." The day before he was captured, Che wrote that his dwindling band had questioned a local woman about nearby...

Somehow, they are elevated above their existence in the commonplace world into a region where nonpractical life is led; behind the plane surface lies another dimension. On the level of social comedy, Miss Dawlish, Oliver's music teacher, is a Margaret
...impersonation rings true enough. Nat Turner was not only literate but eloquent: he left a 20-page confession, which was published the year after his death. From this personal account, as well as from a thorough familiarity with the literature of slavery and with Virginia's Tidewater region, Styron re-creates the rebel's career...
