"Patria o Muerte!"
Good for people wanting to know about Che. I didn't get the sense that the author was totally pro Che, he produced the facts and left out any biased opinions. I could have done without so much detail when it came to military strategy, never the less it helps paint a clear picture of everything Che and his army were up against. After finishing this book I can see why Che is such a polarizing figure, however an intriguing one. This book has also opened a can of curiosity for me, I know want to learn more about latin american history and certain individuals in particular introduced (to me anyway) in this writing.
"FANTASTIC "
If you are interested in learning more about Che Guevera beyond his role in the Cuban revolution, this is a must listen.
"Propaganda"
Don't be fooled, this book is propaganda. It idolizes Che, portrays capitalism as evil and barely speaks of the myriad faults of communism. It never questions the revolution or it's agenda. If you want to know the minutia of Che's life this is the book for you. If you want an honest portrayal of it look elsewhere.
"Game changer"
I recommend this book to anyone who struggles to understand success. I am not a communist in the least, but this book changed the way I live. The tenacity of Che to peruse his passions, the enthusiasm he applied to his work, and the strict diligence applied to his every step can be replicated in so many ways. Within three years, he went from an unknown nomad to an international hero. He did this because he discovered his life purpose and pursued with with an unrelenting passion. The success of life requires us to find our purpose and to peruse that with an unrelenting passion.
"well researched, well written and decently read"
A great historical account of a very misunderstood character. Reasonably unbiased and based on facts - or at least disclaimers about the lack or contradiction of them. It's the only book I have "read" on Che. it's quality is right up there with The Rise and Fall of the 3rd Reich, Mao: The Unknown Story and Guns, Germs and Steel.
"Worth your time..."
This was a very comprehensive project highlighting Che Guevara's life as a man and revolutionary.
"A story of dedication"
I wasn't really sure about listening to this book to be honest. Firstly it's long, really long and second I wasn't really sure it I'd like what I was going to hear.
The book starts with his early life and this background formed a strong foundation for the rest of the story including explaining the basis for some of the beliefs he held later in life.
While the views of Che Guevara still baffle me the book did a great job of explaining how they developed over time and showed a lot of what made Che Guevara so dedicated to his country, his leader and his cause.
The book is interesting for it's historical information and for the information is gives about what it means to be someone with strong convictions.
Well worth the credit.
"The man who died for his beliefs"
Great person to listen about. His courage is an inspiring one. Only few people has that courage to sacrifice thier life's for what they believed in. A great story that our current and future generations need to know. Very good narration.
"Che Guevara"
Fascinating story and well read. I knew nothing of Che's life prior to this book. Listed to it after a trip to Ecuador. If you're into socialism you'll like this, if you're into South American political history, Che covers enough ground throughout his life that you'll like this, or if you're just an adventurer in life like myself you'll find something to connect with irregardless of you political views. This is definitely worth reading!
"Well done"
Good listen, easy to follow, and a stellar narrator. Listening was not nearly as difficult a task than reading this small tree trunk.
