Summary: "Che Guevara personifies the revolutionary ferment that swept the world during the 1960s and 1970s. Che dedicated his life to fighting for his revolutionary ideals, and in the process he created a legend of mythical proportions that continues to inspire people today. In this compelling account of Che's life and death, Richard Harris chronicles Che's revolutionary career, his role in the Cuban revolution, and his efforts to create a Third World front against Western imperialism among the nations of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Based on his on-the-spot research in Bolivia shortly after Che's death and his contemporary analysis of Che's legacy, Harris's book provides a unique perspective on Che's last mission and the continuing international importance of his revolutionary legacy."
