![]() ![]() ![]() With astonishing precision, colour, and drama, Che makes us first-hand witnesses to the revolutionary life and times of this historic figure. Through renowned Mexican artist José Hernández's drawings, we feel the bullets fly past in Cuba smell the smoke of Castro's cigars and scrutinize the face of the weary guerrilla as he is called 'Comandante' for the first time. Adapted from Anderson's masterwork, Che transports us from young Ernesto's medical school days to the battlefields of the Cuban revolution from his place of power alongside Castro to his disastrous sojourn in the Congo, and his violent end in Bolivia. In Che: A Revolutionary Life, Jon Lee Anderson and José Hernández reveal the man behind the myth, creating a complex portrait of this passionate idealist. A Marxist ideologue, he sought to end global inequality by bringing down the American capitalist empire through armed guerrilla warfare - and has few rivals in the Cold War era as an apostle of change. 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. Since his assassination in 1967 at the age of 39, the Argentine revolutionary has become an internationally famed icon, as revered as he is controversial. Che Guevara's legend is unmatched in the modern world. ![]()
