Che
is the story of the man behind the famous photograph—a richly illustrated biography of the Marxist revolutionary, guerrilla leader, military theorist, and pop icon.
Che Guevara was a
Marxist revolutionary
and an
ally of Fidel Castro
who became a major figure during the Cuban Revolution. Born into a middle-class family in Rosario, Argentina, he studied medicine, but after seeing terrible poverty in Latin America, he concluded that the only way to
change society
was
through violent rebellion
. He then became a champion for worldwide revolution.
Since his death, Guevara has become a
legendary political figure
. His name is often equated with rebellion, revolution, and socialism. Others, however, remember that he could be
ruthless
and ordered prisoners executed without trial in Cuba. In any case, Guevara’s life continues to be a
subject of
great public interest
and has been explored and portrayed in numerous books and films, including
The Motorcycle Diaries
.
On October 9, 1967, he was executed by the Bolivian army, his hands were cut off, and preserved in formaldehyde to confirm his identity. After he died, “Che” became an even bigger hero for revolution with
Time
magazine naming him one of the 100 most influential people of the twentieth century and an iconic photograph of him being cited as “
the most famous photograph in the world
.”
While Che Guevara documented his life meticulously, this book encapsulates him in one carefully crafted volume.
