Anyone reccomend a biography

[FinnMacCool]

I'm looking for an UNBIASED biography of Che. I have read ones from capitalists and I've read some from communists and I don't think either is an accurate representation of him. Anyone have any reccomendations?

[Fuzzy_Louster]

I would recommend the gigantic volume called "Che: A Revolutionary Life." By Jon Lee Anderson.

Ditto. It is the best biography of Che there is.

[FinnMacCool]

Thanks for the reccomendation. I just picked it up and will read it as soon as possible.

Yeah "Che: A Revolutionary Life" is a very captivating read, i am about 1/4 of the way through it and it just keeps getting better, the point of view from my perspective is a very well caught one.

You might also try reading "Self Potrait" and or the diaries(the motorcycle diaries,episode's from the cuban revolutionary war,the congo diary,and the bolivian diary)hope that was helpfull

Yes, that's a good biography to start with. It is quite objective in its analysis of Che.

Yes. There's nothing more objective than his own works. I haven't read Congo and Bolivian diaries but I like the motocycle diary very much. It's worthy to read.

Although it is far from a biography, Che's 'Global Justice' can explain quite a bit... even though those essays are on the web everywhere :D .

Any E-Books of 'Che: A Revolutionary Life' or do I have to buy it?

Even if there were E-Books, your eyes would easily bleed perfusely before long. I mean, it is huge.

In fact, I'm on RevLeft right now during a break from reading it, only because my forearms literally got tired from holding up the monstrous bio. ^_^

You guys never heard about library?

[cult.45]

how about wiki.

[that1guy435]

I read it, it took me a month or so (off and on reading). The page count (not including the index) is 754 with smallish type and huge pages.

Jean Cormier ''Che, una leggenda del secolo''
J. Castaneda ''Compagnero''

:D

[Sanjee]

Yes, the biography of Jean Cormier is a good one too. It's not as big as Jon Lee Anderson's biography, but it's quite detailed. I enjoyed it very much.

Yeah, I can't handle e-books at all. After a few pages my eyes start to hate me. Libraries are the way to go.

I'm reading the Che Guevara Reader which is a compilation of his Cuban diary, articles and speeches he wrote/said while in Cuba, articles and speeches he wrote/said on his 3 month world tour, and his good bye letters to his family and castro. I know its not really a biography, but its a good book nonetheless so I thought I'd recommend it anyway.

[Briseño]

Im also intrsted in buying a Biography on Che. What do you guy's recomend?

[Comrade Yev]

...You're going to get the same responses, why not just read those?

[Briseño]

Im gonna go and get me a copy of "Che: Revloutionary Life" I hope its as good as everyone says it is :D
