This review is from: Marx & Engels: A Biographical Introduction (Che Guevara Publishing Project) (Paperback)

Two men who lived in the nineteenth century have had more impact on the twentieth than any other. "A Biographical Introduction to Marx and Engels" is written by famous revolutionary Che Guevara. He speaks on the two fathers of communism and in the process, opens the eyes to the mind of Che Guevara in himself at the same time. A previously unpublished work finally made public, "A Biographical Introduction to Marx and Engels" is intriguing reading indeed.
