Who Was Che Guevara? (Who Was?)
Viva la revolución!
Find out how Che Guevara -- a doctor turned communist leader and much more than a face on a T-shirt -- ended up paying the ultimate price for his cause.
His very image has become associated with a spirit of rebellion, but Ernesto Guevara -- known around the world simply as Che -- didn't dream of becoming a revolutionary. Author Ellen Labrecque takes readers on a journey through Che's life starting with his childhood in Argentina, to his travels through South and Central America as a young physician, and ending with his final years as a key player in the Cuban revolution. His legacy -- as the author of THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES, a champion of the poor, and a force for change in Cuba -- is both personal and political.
Target age group 8-11
