CHE GUEVARA A Revolutionary Life

Fighting for Castro's Cuban revolution and dying while aiding Bolivian guerillas—El Che led a colorful and complex life. Although he executed too many people to be a model of leadership, he did possess a determination to help oppressed people revolt against imperialism. The gifted bilingual narrator Armando Duran speaks both American English and the book's abundant Latin-American Spanish without a trace of accent from the other. His fluency with both languages synchronizes the messenger with the message. He enunciates every word with precision and chooses a pace that will keep listeners' attention for all 36-plus hours. Together, in language rich with personal and political details, both author and narrator produce a riveting biography of a career revolutionary. J.A.H.
