    Ernesto Che Guevara

    Ernesto Che Guevara was a doctor and communist figure in the Cuban Revolution who went on to become a guerrilla leader in South America. He was born in Argentina. Guevara became part of Fidel Castro’s efforts to overthrow the Batista government in Cuba. He served as a military advisor to Castro and led guerrilla troops in battles against Batista forces. Executed by the Bolivian army in 1967, he has since been regarded as a martyred hero by generations of leftists worldwide. Guevara’s image remains a prevalent icon of leftist radicalism and anti-imperialism.

      I enjoyed this book and learned a;ot about the Cuban revolution of which I knew nothing. Have a friend from Euqador and she informed about Chi being a hero to the south american people and I wanted to find out more about him and Fidel Castro. i enjoyed and appreciated his writing style and was impressed by his education and bravery.
