Book Review: Che Guevara has a wonderful book
Summary: 5 Stars
Che Guevara delivers a wonderful message on how to ruthlessly smite your foes by KILLING THEM. Wow, what a great message, this book should be read in Kindergarten classes and at churchBook Review: Che Speaks But says Little.
Summary: 1 Stars
One of the most over-hyped and over-glamorized "revolutionary" figures in history makes us wonder if he ever really existed. Most of the Che mythology was pure fabrication and had no basis in fact. Hollywood couldn't have invented a figure more groovy, sexy or better-looking, even if it wanted to, but the international communist movement did. As Che and the entire cast of bigger-than- life "revolutionary" characters are fading fast into history, to be forgotten forever, you'd better read up on this macho man.Book Review: Che'
Summary: 2 Stars
An interesting read...if you're in the process of trying to overthrow a third-world dictatorship....With the exception of Cuba, Che was never involved in a successful, much less serious, insurgency against a standing government. Many of the lessons taught by Che in the book, some of which were practiced by the Viet Cong are useless against a well equipped and trained counter-insurgency force, as was the case in the later part of Vietnam. A fact few people realize is that the Viet Cong insurgency had been crushed by the end of the tet offensive, and even before then their achievments had been minimal at best. Che's own lessons, in the end, helped very few people, including himself. The Congo was a disaster for him, and in the end he was killed by Bolivian forces guided by CIA operatives and Green Berets.Book Review: Come on, how can you not like Che?
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not so sure Che didn't have a little tongue in cheek in some parts of this do-it-yourself guide to taking over your own banana republic. Come on,... dried fish has good nutritional value? After a while you get used to living without underwear? Anyone who takes seriously the idea that this is the key to defeating armed national forces (supported by the USA) with your very own little guerilla foco needs to spend a lot more time studying Cuban history. Sorry, Che, the revolution was won because the overwhelming majority of the people wanted it, not because you sketched the proper use of a hammock. Nonetheless, anything from Che is a jewel, we miss you comandante, que dios te bendiga.Book Review: Don't buy this.

You're better off going to the library and checking this one out there. I didn't care for this book at all. Only good as if you want to build your personal reference books library.
