Che: A Revolutionary Life

Che: A Revolutionary Life

by Jon Lee Anderson Author and José Hernández Illustrator

A graphic novel of the life of Che Guevara, the famous revolutionary whose image is plastered on t-shirts and bumper stickers everywhere you look. But if you want to know the whole story, the truth behind the imagery, this is a great place to start. It covers his motorcycle trip through Latin America, his formative years as a revolutionary, his time in Africa, and the story of the insurgency in Bolivia that led to his death. As someone who enjoys reading history already, this format makes it even more enjoyable. With illustrations by reknowned Mexican artist Jose Hernandez and text adapted from Anderson's biography, this book reveals the man behind the myth and draws a complex portrait of this passionate idealist. Combining Anderson's unprecedented research with Hernandez's emotionally gripping artwork this graphic novel brings Che to life un a unique way.
