Che Guevara

Life&Times
By Frank Niess

Che Guevara embodied the dream of a social utopia for a whole generation and became a political icon for many born after his death in 1967. This biography explores the myth and the reality of this enduring and fascinating revolutionary.

'Historian Frank Niess presents Che Guevara, an in-depth biography of social revolutionary Che Guevara (1928-1967) that seperates myth from reality. Expertly translated from the original German by Nathaniel McBride ... Notes, a chronology and an index round out this in-depth portrait of a charismatic and courageous (if at times ruthless) man who dedicated his life to his beliefs.'
