关于此电子书

Che Guevara is a legend. The son of Argentine intellectuals, he became first a physician, then a brilliant tactician who helped lead the revolution in Cuba, then an enduring, almost mythical icon of revolutionary struggles all over the world. Though he was killed more than 30 years ago, his name and image remain uniquely compelling and mysterious. What makes him so fascinating? What actions and accomplishments set him apart from his contemporaries and continue to capture our imagination today?

In this concise, informative biography you’ll explore: 

•  Guevara's boyhood, background, and development into a radical. 
• The profound impact a medical condition had on him throughout his life.
• His role in the Cuban Revolution and later liberation movements in Latin America and Africa. 
• The mystery surrounding his death in Bolivia in 1967.

The Critical Lives series takes a biographical look at pivotal, fascinating people and a critical look at the work and accomplishments that, rightly or wrongly, made them unique, influential, and enduring. Discover the events that shaped their lives and how they came to shape our world.

作者简介

As a producer for CBS News in New York City, Eric Luther has covered disputed elections, entertainment, and crime and punishment. His work at CBS has enabled him to expand his knowledge and grasp of news and public affairs while honing his writing and reporting skills. Coupled with his undergraduate work (at SMU, in Dallas, Texas) in philosophy and political science, Luther's work experience enables him to turn a critical yet objective eye on historical figures, and he is the coauthor, with Ted Henken, of Critical Lives: Che Guevara.

Ted Henken is a doctoral candidate in Latin American studies at Tulane University's Stone Center for Latin American Studies. He has traveled to Cuba extensively to conduct research and attend academic seminars. His current research concerns the intersection between Cuba's second economy (cuentapropistas) and its emerging tourism economy. Currently Tulane's Cuban Studies Institute's in-country liaison and program coordinator in Cuba, Henken was born and raised in northwest Florida.
