Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life is the authoritative biography of Ernesto Guevara by Jon Lee Anderson.

Summary of the Book

In his short life, Ernesto Guevara became a legend. A military strategist, guerrilla tactician, economist, Marxist philosopher and a medical doctor, he became a friend to all men as he took on the mantle of “el Che”. His dream was to unite all of Latin America and the rest of the developing world through armed revolution and break free of oppressive regimes. In the years since his death, he has become a martyr, popular culture icon and a symbol of freedom. In this book, the author tells the story of a man who once journeyed across a continent on a motorcycle, searching for answers, to find them in the barrel of a gun he would point bravely at totalitarian regimes.
