Being young and not being revolutionary is a genetic contradiction.

Ernesto Che Guevara

[Mateicee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Eine Lichtgestalt und Ikone der Linken-Bewegung, ein Abenteurer und selbst im Tod eine der einflussreichsten Personen.

Che war vieles und doch eins. Er war Che, ein Freund. Aufgewachsen in Argentinien mit heftigem Asthma wurde aus ihm einer der einflussreichsten Männer der Welt. Als Gerillio oder Politiker, Theorethiker oder Praktiker, es gibt bei Che viel kennenzulernen und vieles was man nicht versteht. Bis zu seinem traurigen Ende in Bolivien, war Che vorallem eins: er selbst und stand zu seinen Prinzipien.

Manche Beschreibungen der Kämpfe fand ich einfach zu lang.

Good biography, definitely a very interesting man with a lot to explore. One of the few people in his field that might actually be more powerful dead than alive. One of the most influential figures of the XX century.

[Miguel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bom livro, um pouco teórico de mais e demasiado datado, embora importante para quem goste. Che é visto como um homem comum neste livro, gosto. Straight to the facts, boa leitura.

Hasta siempre, Comandante ✊🏽❤

Estudar, viajar, ler, trabalhar, lutar sem mate era para Ernesto, desde a sua juventude, uma tarefa completamente impossível.

[Michelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Despite the many proof-reading errors in this book I found it very readable. I knew very little about Che Guevara and feel this was a good overview of the man and his life. It does not portray him as a hero, rather as a passionate man who made some questionable decisions for a noble cause. He was undoubtedly charismatic and I am left feeling I would like, at some stage, to find out more about this enigmatic figure. I particularly liked the use of photography and direct quotes from Guevara's own speeches and diary entries to 'paint a picture' of this remarkable icon.

This book is just owesome, I enjoyed reading it from beginning to end. I think what makes it a good material to read and learn about the Revolutionary Che Guevara is the quotation, the writer useses alot of quotations to support his arguments.

Excellent! I didn't know how this revolutionary die. I was surprised. Even the decades passed things never change. His hope of changes didn't happen either. We are more wrap by the US culture and depending of the trades.
