Che Guevara

The personality of Ernesto Che Guevara is shrouded in myths and contradictions. Hero or killer? Bandit or patriot? Executioner of the ruling regime or its victim? Romantic of the revolution or ruthless fanatic? Today, the Cuban revolutionary has become a mass culture icon and a symbol of the struggle for freedom. But is it really so? The book presents little-known facts from Che Guevara's biography that will help form a complete picture of his complex character. The author pays great attention not only to Che's guerrilla warfare but also to his contribution to the development of the Cuban economy. For the first time in Russian, the activities of Che after his secret departure from Cuba and his rather complicated relationship with the Soviet leadership are described in this way.
