Che Guevara

Reviews

“An important journalistic biography that is sympathetic to this influential figure. Though controversy will surround this book (as it always does when the subject is Che), this is an important volume that should be in all academic and most public libraries.”

“Dogged reporting has enabled him to do is to tell us, in wonderful new detail, about the hero as a youth.”

“Superb…Anderson does a masterly job in evoking Che’s complex character, in separating the man from the myth.”

“Excellent…admirably honest [and] staggeringly researched.”

“[Guevara’s] victories and failures, equally spectacular, are part of our common history…Che lives, not only in this book, but in the world.”

“[Che’s] curious mixture of resoluteness and recklessness…is brilliantly evoked in Jon Lee Anderson’s massive biography.”

“Armando Durán gives a brilliant performance that captures Che in all his contradictions. Duran displays his inherent acting ability in this reading that does full justice to the prose and never fails to captivate, despite the near 37-hour length.”

“The gifted bilingual narrator Armando Durán speaks both American English and the abundant Latin-American Spanish without a trace of accent from the other. His fluency with both languages synchronizes the messenger with the message…A riveting biography. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

“[An] exceptional and exciting biography.”

“Paints a portrait of Guevara as both hero and fanatic…Students of Che’s life and deeds need look no farther than Anderson’s volume.”
