The Thought of Che

In this book, Fidel Castro writes with candour and affection about his legendary partner. Castro's personal recollections of Che Guevara paint an intense, affectionate portrait of the greatest revolutionary the world has ever known. Fidel Castro has remarked: "For me, it has been hard to accept the idea that Che is dead. I've dreamed of him often, that I spoke with him, that he was alive..." Now, through the words of the surviving half of the legendary partnership that brought the Latin American dream of a people's revolution so vividly to life, Che lives again. Castro draws a vivid, breathing picture of the whole Che - friend, revolutionary, artist, thinker and man - in a fond reminiscence that records the personal side of a historic partnership. A unique first-hand document of perhaps the most important political union of the 20th Century, "Che: A Memoir By Fidel Castro" offers readers the opportunity to gain a human view of an association that has become mythologised to the point of impenetrability.;Including a detailed account of Castro's last days with Che in Cuba, a remarkably frank assessment of the Bolivian mission, and a transcript of Fidel's speech given on the return of Che's remains in 1997, this is a chance to cut through the legend and rediscover the living core of the greatest radical story ever told. It also contains several previously unpublished photographs, both of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro.
