Reddit mentions of The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey

I haven't seen the movie. It's based on an actual book he wrote of the same name.

Also, he kept diaries which surely provide a pretty good insight into his character, the good and the bad. I've only read snippets and quotes from these two sources.

I haven't read it, but this seems to be the best rated biography of Che. I might get it myself.

As far as Churchill goes, he was a really prolific writer and there are tons and tons of biographies on him, so there is a lot to choose from. There's pretty good description of his younger "adventures" called "Churchill: Wanted Dead or Alive". As for his later life, there's about a million good books and documentaries on that.

I agree to some extent he can be kind of an asshole but I wouldn't have wanted to be a great starting point to Che's beliefs!](http://www.amazon.com/The-Motorcycle-Diaries-American-Journey/dp/1876175702).

Che held free clinics for rural farmers in Cuba even while they were fighting the Cuban army. Free immunizations, checkups etc...the majority of rural farmers in Cuba were black. I assume you are a product of the American school system so all you know is what the state department tells you. Read a few books....http://www.amazon.ca/Che-Guevara-A-Revolutionary-Life/dp/080214411X...http://www.amazon.ca/The-Motorcycle-Diaries-American-Journey/dp/1876175702...http://www.amazon.ca/Our-America-Theirs-Alliance-Progress/dp/1876175818. These are just the start of what got me reading about this man. And just in case you are wondering he is not Cuban

Just putting this out there for the left wing morons who don't get it:


>Che Guevara also helped establish the first Cuban concentration camp in Guanahacabibes in 1960. This camp was the first of many. From the Nazis, the Cuban government also adapted from the Nazis the motto at Auschwitz “Work sets you free” changing it to “Work will make you men.” According to Álvaro Vargas Llosa, homosexuals, Jehova’s Witnesses, Afro-Cuban priests, and others who were believed to have committed a crime against revolutionary morals, were forced to work in these camps to correct their “anti-social behavior.” Many of them died; others were tortured or raped.

>Guevara exposed also racist views. In his diary, he referred to black people as “those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing.” He also thought white Europeans were superior to people of African descent, and described Mexicans as “a band of illiterate Indians.”

Charming fellow.
