The legend of Che Guevara is unrivalled in the contemporary day. The Argentine revolutionary, as adored as he is divisive, has gained international renown since his murder in 1967 at the age of 39. He was a Marxist ideologue who used armed guerrilla warfare to overthrow the American capitalist empire in an effort to eradicate worldwide inequity. As an advocate for change during the Cold War, he had few adversaries. Jon Lee Anderson and Jos? Hern?ndez paint a nuanced image of this ardent idealist in their book Che: A Revolutionary Life, revealing the person behind the legend. From young Ernesto's medical school days through the battlegrounds of the Cuban revolution, from his position of authority beside Castro to his tragic journey in exile, Che, an adaptation of Anderson's opus, takes us.
