'I was born in Argentina. I fought in Cuba, and I began to be a revolutionary in Guatemala.' Che Guevara was the most admired and beloved revolutionary of his time, the first man since Simon Bolivar seriously to plan to unite the countries of Latin America. This concise biography unravels Che's life, from his birth in 1928, the child of free-thinking radical Argentinian aristocrats, his youthful membership of Accion Argentina and his training as a doctor in Buenos Aires, through his witnessing of the fall of the new revolutionary government in Guatemala alongside its leader, Arbenz, his action as a commander in the guerrilla war in Cuba with Fidel Castro and his part in the reforming Marxist Cuban government, to his fight for liberation of the Congo and, finally, of Bolivia, where he was executed.

    This book was great. A lot of the information that was needed to write my report was already highlighted. Made it a lot easier for me.

    You can get the basic facts from Sinclair's book, and get them quickly. If that's what you're after, then this is the book you want. But for anything like in depth coverage of Che's life, you'll have to look elsewhere. One also wonders at some of the claims Sinclair makes in the final chapter. He maintains, for example, that the global unrest of 1968 was in large part a response to the death of Che the previous year. While Che has been (and continues to be) an inspirational figure for the left, this seems like an overstatement to me.

    Che the revolutionary, who attempted to make the world a better place for the ordinary people of Latin America, and was a thorn in the side of the CIA. His methods were questionable agreed; but this book puts matters into perspective by comparing the systems that preceded his actions and the subsequent motivation for improvement.

    Bought this for my daughter to help with a school debate. She said it was just what she needed, easy to read and covering all the basics.
