However, the site of Guevara’s burial was kept secret until 1997, when his remains were identified and returned to Cuba. Alcuni dettagli sono gustosissimi e descrivono magnificamente lo spirito della guerriglia e della vita alla macchia. “… I will take to the barricades and the trenches, screaming as one possessed, will stain my weapons with blood, and, mad with rage, will cut the throat of any vanquished foe I encounter."
Guevara returned to school and graduated with a medical degree in 1953.
“After a few hours—by dawn—I had already embarked on the future expedition,” Guevara said. He was reburied in a mausoleum in Santa Clara.
Che: A Graphic Biography
A symbol of counterculture worldwide, Ernesto "Che" Guevara is one of the most, if not the most, recognizable and influential revolutionary figures of the twentieth century.
He soon traveled again around Latin America and eventually to Guatemala, where he joined an unsuccessful armed effort to defend the CIA-backed overthrowing of the presidency of leftist reformist Jacobo Arbenz.
Guevara, Also Known as Che
Oscillo tra le quattro e le tre stelle e mezza: il voto ovviamente è per Taibo - non certo per il Che e la sua vita e la sua esperienza, perché quando si cerca di condensarli in poche parole o immagini o in un giudizio netto, allora sì che si finisce per rientrare in quel fenomeno di marketing che li ha talmente snaturati.
Biografia affettuosa e abbastanza obiettiva, che non vuole spiegare il mito, non vuole sbandierare la leggenda ma raccontare l'uomo e cerca anzi di riportare quei piccoli dettagli che possono contribuire a smitizzarlo.
La scrittura non è sempre impeccabile: la stesura di tale opera ha certamente richiesto un lavoro da giocoliere per tenere insieme una grande moltitudine di fonti, molte delle quali intervistate direttamente, ma in alcuni passaggi si percepisce come un lieve disorientamento o disordine dell'autore, ci sono raffiche di nomi e luoghi e date piazzati lì in modo talvolta impreciso, in cui il lettore rischia di sentirsi a sua volta spaesato.
Da un punto di vista letterario, l'opera ci avrebbe guadagnato se i tanti episodi e aneddoti fossero stati raccontati esaustivamente e ben amalgamanti lungo i suoi sessantotto capitoli, invece di venire relegati tra le note in appendice. The trip fueled his growing interest in communism—and a hatred for capitalism, and he grew to believe a solution could only be achieved by violent revolution.
"Raccontare" è proprio il verbo giusto quando si parla di una vita che - anche con mille domande e mille dettagli non chiariti - è il più avvincente dei romanzi, una vita che sembra la trama di un romanzo di Dumas o di Hugo. That experience cemented his commitment to Marxism, as well as his disdain for the United States.
Cuban Revolution and Fidel Castro
Following the conflict, Guevara fled to Mexico City where he married Hilda Gaeda, and, in 1955, met rebel leaders Fidel and Raul Castro, who were planning their own armed revolution to overthrow the government of Cuba’s dictator Fulgencio Batista.
Guevara said his first discussion with Castro centered on world politics, according to Companero: The Life and Death of Che Guevara, by Jorge G.
Castandeda. However, his push for Cuba’s alliance with the Soviet Union (which was broken following the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962) led to trade sanctions from the United States, a faltering economy and conflict with his fellow leaders.
By 1965, Castro announced that Guevara had written the leader a farewell letter, ceding his citizenship and leaving Cuba to fight imperialism in other developing nations.
Training Forces in Africa and Bolivia
Guevara headed for the African Congo in 1965, to support and train Laurent Désiré Kabila-led Congo rebels.
E poi c'è un fatto di sangue, o di DNA, o dir si voglia: i sudamericani hanno un tipo di esuberanza che non si trova in nessun'altra latitudine e longitudine. Without Ernesto Guevara, Fidel Castro might never have become a Communist. Following Che from his fabled motorcycle journeys with Alberto Granado as a young medical student to his eventual execution at the hands of Bolivian soldiers and CIA operatives, Che: A Graphic Biography not only provides a concrete time line of his life but also gives a broader understanding of his beliefs, his legacy, and Latin American politics during the mid-twentieth century.

L'utilità di questa lettura sarebbe di riuscire a capire - anzi, a carpire - in quale momento della storia uno che aveva tutte le carte in regola per essere un pollo da allevamento, per giunta malaticcio, si tramuta in un rivoluzionario, un guerrigliero, un comandante, un uomo duro che più duro non si può.And with Castro in command, Guevara served as executioner at the La Cabana prison, overseeing the death orders of 500 men considered spies or deserters by some estimates.
He was also named president of the National Bank of Cuba, and later head of the Ministry of Industry, which included global travel as an ambassador for Cuba.
In Che: A Graphic Biography, Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón—the graphic duo who made the 9/11 Commission Report understandable in their bestselling The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation and who most recently explained the ongoing war on terror in After 9/11—have come together again to give a real portrait of Ernesto Guevara de la Serna.
And while he participated in sports, he also became a voracious reader. As a teen, he began to cultivate a political ideology and joined detractors of Argentine dictator Juan Perón.
Did you know?
Che Guevara has been the subject of a number of films, including “The Motorcycle Diaries,” which was based in part on Che's own account of his nine-month journey across South America in 1951–52, an experience that shaped his leftist beliefs.
In 1948, Guevara entered the University of Buenos Aires to study medicine but left to embark on what would be known as his “motorcycle diaries” journeys.
We had to stop crying and start fighting."
The dynamic between Castro and Guevara was intense.
“One was impulsive, the other thoughtful; one emotional and optimistic, the other cold and skeptical,” Castandeda writes. Troppo facile anche dire che è il passaggio tra infanzia, adolescenza e età adulta.
A lack of local support, the arrival of the CIA and a manhunt led by American-trained Bolivian Rangers, would bring a swift end to the mission.
Execution and Legacy
On October 8, 1967, the Bolivian Rangers captured Guevara, and, on October 9, he was executed in La Higuera on the order of the military’s high command.
Viceversa le considerazioni finali circa la "maledizione del Che", o la sua trasformazione in un santo laico o altri aspetti di questo genere, completano l'opera ma non aggiungono proprio nulla.
