I recently purchased this book and begain reading it a few days ago. I'm forty or so pages into it, and I really enjoy how the authors (Eric Luther with the help from Ted Henken) write about Che. They commend him as a human being who honestly wanted to help other humans in need, remarking about his discovery of the exploitation of the workers in Latin America during his eight month trek with Alberto Granado.

Has anyone else read this book? I was wondering if anyone else seems that compared to other Che books, this one doesn't demonize Che so much as it "angelizes" him. Thoughts?

I haven't read that book, but I'm reading another biography of him called(yep you guessed it) Che Guevara a revolutionary life by Jon Lee Anderson. The book is as thick as a bible, very complete and I would say tottaly imparsial.
