Meh
This book is very simplistic and is based completely on the Cuban revolution. It has some interesting points here and there, but it is lacking the depth of other like works such as Mao's work on Guerrilla warfare. There are two works in one in this book. The first is on how to organize and fight a Guerrilla war, and the second is a rant against capitalism and the U.S. This book did ...

Che
This is a good book if you want to know about Che's Marxists theories and if you want to know some of his views on the world during his time. But this book (though it is good) only scratches the surface a good portion of these speeches and essays have been published in many other books what the editor should've done was published parts of Che's critique of the Soviet Union that Castro has ...

One of the Top 3 Biographies on Guevara
This work by jorge G. Castañeda is one of the very best biographies you can find on Ernesto Guevara by many reasons: 1. The historical chronology is accesible for everybody, but the good interpretation of those events is only at the reach of those who know the intricated aspects of diplomacy and polithics. Castañeda has done a great job understanding the polithical personalities of Guevara, ...

Pushing the Envelope
Fascinating stories. I really enjoyed this book, partly because I enjoy books that take me to another place or time. The writing was engaging. I had trouble not believing the last story, "Fantasy for Eleven Fingers", wasn't a real account. I will look forward to more books by Ben Fountain and hope he continues to push the envelope.

Che and Anderson Exposed!
If Humberto Fontova's book were not so disturbing, I would call it a page-turner. And in as much as it grips you from the first sentence, it is still difficult to read of the first-hand accounts of such brutalities which, sadly, fill this book from beginning to end. Unlike Jon Lee Anderson's disgraceful and idolizing tribute to the bumbling, blood-thirsty butcher of La Cabana, constructed upon ...

Che Guevara... Whether you respect him or not there is absolutely no denying the fact that he had a profound impact on the history of Central America and the Caribbean. This book is plainly and simply about a young man on a journey to become the person everyone knows in history. He sets out as a college student in his early twenties on the motorcycle La Poderosa II with Alberto Granado. When ...

back on the road: a journey through latin america
A diary that is rambling but compelling to read. Hard to put down. Shows transformation of Motorcycle Diaries Earnesto (Che) Guavera into soon to be Commandante Che of Cuban Revolution--the endearing kitten who grows up to be the feral and rather large cat in the living room. It starts out as a story of a young man with itchy feet who cannot tolerate boredom (ADHD comes to mind). Soon, however, ...

A Beautiful Book of Memoirs
If you are tired of the same books on Che Guevara, this is the different book. Formed by texts and images based upon Che's own life it follows mainly the same path of its biographers but in such a beautiful way it made his own daughter Aleyda (who rarely saw him) exclaim: "the photos in this book are so magnificent you feel a desire for kissing him, embracing him and keep talking to him" (she ...

Excellent
An interesting look into the last days of Che's life and times. It is an easy read and any person could pick it up and be enveloped in the story that Che lived. Before Pablo Escobar or Bin Laden the US wanted him and Castro more than anything. This story truly gives the reader what stress and pressure Che was under trying to start a new revolution in South America. Excellent and readable. ...

Entertaining
While it might not have been intended as such this is actually a pretty funny read. 'Che' may have been motivated by high ideals but in his diaries he documents the nitty gritty of daily life and the trials of trying to whip a revolutionary army into shape. Frequently beset by attacks of 'the runs' (many times a day) and having to deal with Congolese soldiers who wanted nothing more than to run ...

Separating the myth adds a myth
The author tries to separate the myth from the man and does offer some interesting analysis from his cynical viewpoint. But in debunking the myth, his point of view oversteps and creates another myth. The reader must continually weed these opinions from the facts, which he weaves in, back and forth in chronological time, using this device to often repeat his criticism, both real and imagined. ...
