Che Guevara...

WarderX · 01-03-2007, 06:33 PM

Went to the bookstore today and I thought to myself "say, it's about time I finally pick up a Che Guevara (auto)biography"

Low and behold, they had about 10 biographies and about 6 autobiographies. Haha. Quite the popular subject, I see...

Anyone happen to know which ones are any good?

Not sure on which biography or autobiography to recommend other than Motorcycle Diaries.

Although, he did write a lot on guerrilla warfare if you want to know anything about that as well.

There s a movie of motorcycle diaries, followed by a movie named Fidel and Che.
I loved the first, but as a movie, not a documentary.
The second is less biased, and contains a bit of informative stuff, but i recommend double checking the "facts" they put in there.

I read a Che biography awhile back for a Latin American class, Companero: The Life and Death of Che Guevara by Jorge Castaneda.

I haven't read any others so I can't compare and contrast but I thought it was very well written and comprehensive so you might give it a try.
