Che: A Revolutionary Life

â€œA remarkable accomplishment, one that belongs next to such works of graphical history as the March series and Shigeru Mizuki's Showa books. By foregrounding the tension between myth and truth, Che illuminates the present state of our politics as well as the past.â€ â€”NPR

TheÂ graphic adaptationÂ of the groundbreaking and definitive biography of Che Guevara

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. InÂ Che: A Revolutionary Life, Jon Lee Anderson and JosÃ© HernÃ¡ndez present the man behind the myth, creating a complex and human portrait of this passionate idealist.

Adapted from Jon Lee Anderson's definitive masterwork,Â CheÂ 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 JosÃ© HernÃ¡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 HernÃ¡ndez'sÂ CheÂ makes us a witness to the revolutionary life and times of Che Guevara.
