Che Guevara

A Revolutionary Life

By: Jon Lee Anderson

Narrated by: Armando Durán

Che Guevara was a dashing rebel whose epic dream was to end poverty and injustice in Latin America and the developing world through armed revolution.

Jon Lee Anderson traces Che's extraordinary life from his comfortable Argentine upbringing to the battlefields of the Cuban revolution, from the halls of power in Castro's government to his failed campaign in the Congo and his assassination in the Bolivian jungle.

Meticulously researched and full of exclusive information, this work illuminates as never before the mythic figure who embodied the high-water mark of revolutionary communism as a force in history.

Great narration, far too long

The narration was excellent, a great choice for this book.
I want to love this book, and I did like it, but it was so long and wandered into so much irrelevant detail about people Che was with or knew, that it took me completely out of the story. There was a lot of good info, could have been about 1/3 the length.

FANTASTIC

If you are interested in learning more about Che Guevera beyond his role in the Cuban revolution, this is a must listen.

not as long as you think

despite the length of this story the time goes by very quickly well told and well read definitely a life worth knowing about

An Awesome Odesy, A Must read for any student of Latin America History...Ache'O. ..Ed Maldonado

Insightful

This biography provides enlightening details of Che’s ideological evolution. It also contextualizes the struggle between governments promoting capitalism and communism as well as the ideological schisms between communist governments. The reader’s voice and enunciation makes this long story enjoyable.
