[FONT=Arial] Hello,
I'm a 17 year old student and we have to make a paper for school.
This is not just a small task but it will count for the whole year. Don't judge this crap.. i don't like it either :D
Anyway, i picked Che Guevara as my subject.
But i need some information and actually about everything about him. I prefer no Biographies 'cause i can find enough of them.
I'm more interested in: Opinions, How you got to know Che Guevara, Why you are so interested in Che Guevara.
If there are any people who often go to Cuba (or live in Cuba), I'd love some information about the situation there and how the people there think about Che and stuff like that.
Anything is more than welcome...
Thanks anyway!!


Cheers, Stijn.

Maybe you should read some of his books and judge for yourself.

The Motorcycle Diaries
Reminiscence of the Cuban Revolution
Guerilla Warfare
The Bolivian Diaries

-- also The Che Guevara reader (which contains essays and papers not really in the other books)

My personal opinion of Che is that he was quite possibly what I would consider the strongest communist ever. He truly understood the struggle, truly understood the position of a revolutionary, and unlike others who gained power through revolution, gave it all up in order to free people in other parts of the world.

If you ask me, he's probably the pinacle of what a communist revolutionary should be.
