Viva la revolución!
Find out how Che Guevara--a doctor turned communist leader and much
more than a face on a T-shirt--ended up paying the ultimate price for
his cause.
His very image has become associated with a spirit of rebellion, but
Ernesto Guevara--known around the world simply as Che--didn't dream of
becoming a revolutionary. Author Ellen Labrecque takes readers on a
journey through Che's life starting with his childhood in Argentina, to
his travels through South and Central America as a young physician, and
ending with his final years as a key player in the Cuban revolution. His
legacy--as the author of The Motorcycle Diaries, a champion of the
poor, and a force for change in Cuba--is both personal and political.
