5.0 out of 5 stars HUMANITY AT ITS BEST!!, 19 Nov 2003
By TODD (NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, TYNE & WEAR United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I have just finished reading this book on Che Guevara and I must say I was truly blown away by this mans passion and humanity. For me, my reason for ready about Che were pretty much the same as everybody else, seeing his picture on students T-shirts and being curious about his life and legacy. I was not disappointed at what I read. This book is a fairly easy read which is important as the author does not try to loose the reader in politics but very much explains che's thoughts and reasons for his actions with a brief discussions on the current political situation in Cuba during his time as Fidel Castro's right hand man.

Che Guevara was very much the 'Robin hood' of Cuba, fighting for the people and sacrificing all of his material goods for the larger political goals of Cuba and his dream of riding the world from political greed and corruption, and uniting us so that everyone is equal and there is no poverty or discrimination.

This book is fast and emotional which really puts things into perspective, it makes you thinks exactly who really is the enemy of the world, rich countries or third world countries, anyway this book is a truly fantastic and is a good grounding before moving on to a more complex read on che.

My closing statement is this, even today why do we watch people like Che Guevara struggle against political corruption, ignore there cries and watch them branded an enemy by higher forces, here of their deaths, then make martyrs of them and spend the rest of our time talking about how great they where and how much of a lose they will be?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to life of infamous revolutionary, 8 Jun 2002
By A Customer
Andrew Sinclair's biography of Ernesto 'Che' Guervara is a fantastic guide to understanding the human passion and ideas behind Guevara's political beliefs and eventually his political actions. Sinclair shows how Che was frustrated as a child, even though he came from a relatively well off family, due to suffering from asthma. This may have been one of the reaons why Che decided to study medicine. Sinclair also provides detail on Guevara's travels and journeys around South America which provided Che with first hand experience of poverty, suffering and expolitation of the workers which lead to the definition his political views. This book also gives much detail on the dramatic events of the Cuban Revolution. Overall this is a good place to start for anyone wanting to know more about the face they have seen on many a t'shirt. The knowledge provided here will give anyone with a real interest the ability to go on and read further, maybe more politicaly angled texts focusing on Che. It allows the reader to understand the human beliefs behind the revolutionary actions.
