CHE GUEVARA

This concise biography of Che Guervara’s revolutionary life and his political influence in Cuba, Argentina, Guatemala, and Bolivia conveniently encapsulates the author’s extensive knowledge of his subject. The British reader constantly reminds listeners of the writer’s point of view and predictably anglicizes the few Spanish words and names. Since political theory rarely dominates a biography so much, readers may see it as a worthwhile and refreshing advantage. Baby boomers who observed the Cuban and other South and Central American revolutions during their adolescence will feel this story and relive the mid-century struggles between communism, socialism and capitalism.
