A New York Times Notable Book of the year. Acclaimed around the
world and a national best-seller, this is the definitive work on
Che Guevara, the dashing rebel whose epic dream was to end poverty
and injustice in Latin America and the developing world through
armed revolution. Jon Lee Anderson's biography traces Che's
extraordinary life, from his comfortable Argentine upbringing to
the battlefields of 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. Anderson has had
unprecedented access to the personal archives maintained by
Guevara's widow and carefully guarded Cuban government documents.
He has conducted extensive interviews with Che's comrades--some of
whom speak here for the first time--and with the CIA men and
Bolivian officers who hunted him down. Anderson broke the story of
where Guevara's body was buried, which led to the exhumation and
state burial of the bones. Many of the details of Che's life have
long been cloaked in secrecy and intrigue. Meticulously researched
and full of exclusive information, Che Guevara illuminates as never
before this mythic figure who embodied the high-water mark of
revolutionary communism as a force in history.
