Summary: Excellent
Review: An interesting look into the last days of Che's life and times. It is an easy read and any person could pick it up and be enveloped in the story that Che lived. Before Pablo Escobar or Bin Laden the US wanted him and Castro more than anything. This story truly gives the reader what stress and pressure Che was under trying to start a new revolution in South America. Excellent and readable. PCR, BA history

Summary: A decent account into the death of an extraodinary man
Review: Che Guevara is more than a communist rebel to a world citizen. He is the sign of inherent goodness. He offered his own life, the ultimate sacrifice to a cause he thought was right. We can debate whether the ends would have been the best or not for days. However, anyone informed would recognize that Guevara had good intentions.

This book is an important account on the last mission he embarked upon. Like other diaries and summaries of Che, this will be a non-fiction rollercoaster that will put you in the heart of South America, you will feel all the pains and all the gains he had. Every death, every ambush, every day its an adventure. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to get acquainted or rationalize what communists really believed. This book is also ideal for someone who just wants a real story with a melodramatic rollercoaster feel to it.

Although Che's life was limited, not many men can claim they have experienced as much as he did. His life's fruits make him the true revolutionary of his time.
