A unique collection of intimate photographs and Che's own words, this book provides an accessible and authentic portrait of one of the most significant revolutionary figures of the 20th century. Includes: over 250 images, many never published before; more than 100 quotations from his writings, personal correspondence, and speeches; newly-published interviews with close friends and allies; a collection of remarkable iconic posters and artwork; a time-line giving the chronology of his life and career; a map of his revolutionary route through Cuba; and essays discussing the key moments of his life.--From publisher description.
