By foregrounding the tension between myth and truth, \u003ci\u003eChe\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the present state of our politics as well as the past.\" --\u003ci\u003eNPR\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe graphic adaptation of the groundbreaking and definitive biography of Che Guevara \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Che Guevara's legend is unmatched in the modern world. Since his assassination in 1967 at the age of thirty-nine, the Argentine revolutionary has become an internationally recognized icon, as revered as he is controversial. As a Marxist ideologue who sought to end global inequality by bringing down the American capitalist empire through armed guerrilla warfare, Che has few rivals in the Cold War era as an apostle of revolutionary change. In \u003ci\u003eChe: A Revolutionary Life\u003c\/i\u003e, Jon Lee Anderson and Jos  Hern ndez present the man behind the myth, creating a complex and human portrait of this passionate idealist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Adapted from Jon Lee Anderson's definitive masterwork, \u003ci\u003eChe\u003c\/i\u003e vividly transports us from young Ernesto's medical school days as a sensitive asthmatic to the battlefields of the Cuban revolution, from his place of power alongside Castro, to his disastrous sojourn in the Congo, and his violent end in Bolivia. Through renowned Mexican artist Jos  Hern ndez's drawings we feel the bullets wing past the head of the young rebel in Cuba, we smell the thick smoke of his and Castro's cigars, and scrutinize his proud face as he's called \"Comandante\" for the first time. With astonishing precision, color, and drama, Anderson and Hern ndez's \u003ci\u003eChe \u003c\/i\u003emakes us a witness to the revolutionary life and times of Che Guevara.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780735221772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.90w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2018 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2018 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2018 pg. 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jon Lee Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36640834977948,"sku":"9780735221772","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_648d6759-dced-47ab-9283-9d762a7e8091.jpg?v=1607551842","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/che-a-revolutionary-life-9780735221772","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
