    I finally got around to buying it today. It was discounted. I'd got it out of the library in the past but had never found the patience to complete it... perhaps now I finally will!

    Enjoy every page, companero. I liked it so much I might read it again after I've read all the other Che books I bought.

    When is this book going on the curriculum for high schools?

    I first read the bio a few years back, after reading "The Motorcycle Diaries" and found it a very intriguing read.

    You may also be interested in Che's account of the Congo expedition "The African Dream" - it presents his unique perspective of what could, and what did go wrong.

    Ya the Jon lee Anderson biography of Che is great, i read it. I also advice you read Death of a Revolutionary by Richard Harris it is thirty years old but its really good. Also read Guevara known as Che, its the best.
