Book Reviews of Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life
Book Review: Very balanced portrait
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a great read. I had a hard time putting it down. I bought it to learn a little more about Che Guevara. I felt like I got a very balanced view of him. I don't believe the author sugar coated his atrocities, nor did he glamorize/glorify the revolutionary lifestyle he lead.
Summary of Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life
This New York Times "Notable Book of the Year" is the definitive biography on Che Guevara, whose epic dream was to end poverty and injustice in Latin America through armed revolution. Anderson's biography traces Che's extraordinary life, from his comfortable Argentine upbringing to the Cuban revolution, from the halls of power in Castro's government to his failed campaign in the Congo and assassination in the Bolivian jungle.
Even to those without Marxist sympathies, Che Guevara (1928-67) was a dashing, charismatic figure: the asthmatic son of an aristocratic Argentine family whose sympathy for the world's oppressed turned him into a socialist revolutionary, the valued comrade-in-arms of Cuba's Fidel Castro and a leader of guerilla warfare in Latin America and Africa. Journalist Jon Lee Anderson's lengthy and absorbing portrait captures the complexities of international politics (revolutionary and counter); his painstaking research has unearthed a remarkable amount of new material, including information about Guevara's death at the hands of the Bolivian military.
