Death of Revolutionary Che Guevara's Last Mission

Revised Edition. For many people, Ernesto Che Guevara symbolises the movement for social change that swept the world in the 1960s--a man who gave his life for his ideals. In this astute study of Che Guevara's life, Richard Harris considers whether, when Che Guevara was killed by the Bolivian army in 1967, he died as a hero, a martyr or the victim of his own errors. Death of a Revolutionary offers a rare, balanced look at the man behind the legend--and the circumstances that created him and shaped his choices.
