About this ebook

Viva la revolución!

Find out how Che Guevara--a doctor turned communist leader and much more than a face on a T-shirt--ended up paying the ultimate price for his cause.

His very image has become associated with a spirit of rebellion, but Ernesto Guevara--known around the world simply as Che--didn't dream of becoming a revolutionary. Author Ellen Labrecque takes readers on a journey through Che's life starting with his childhood in Argentina, to his travels through South and Central America as a young physician, and ending with his final years as a key player in the Cuban revolution. His legacy--as the author of The Motorcycle Diaries, a champion of the poor, and a force for change in Cuba--is both personal and political.

Ratings and reviews

Im appalled to see that you’re idiolizing a cold blooded murderer who killed thousands of innocent people in the name of his revolution. He was a serial rapist, homophobic killer who killed every person that didn’t like his revolution. I can’t believe you’re brainwashing the minds of little kids and making him a hero. He was an assassin and was sent to be killed by Fidel Castro because he was afraid that Che had more popularity than him. Please take this book out of the minds of young children and teach them who the real Che Guevara was, a murderer for hire!! Shame on you!!!

The real Che was a murderer and rapist who helped plunge Cuba into destitution, famine and civil war. The Cuban Revolutionaries, like all Marxists, murdered thousands, starved millions, and brought their country back at least half a century. Get this disgusting propaganda off of Amazon, my god.
