Che, My Brother

"The life of Che is an inspiration to all human beings who cherish freedom. We will always honour his memory." Nelson Mandela
 
"You know how much I admire Che Guevara. In fact, I believe that the man was not only an intellectual but also the most complete human being of our age: as a fighter and as a man, as a theoretician who was able to further the cause of revolution by drawing his theories from his personal experience in battle."
Jean-Paul Sartre
 
"The discussions that count are those that continue, albeit silently, in thought. In my mind, the discussion with Che has continued for all these years, and the more time passed, the more he has been right. Even today, dying while putting in motion a never ending struggle, he continues, always, to be right"
Italo Calvino
 
"The powerful of the earth should take heed: deep inside that T-shirt where we have tried to trap him, the eyes of Che Guevara are still burning with impatience."
Ariel Dorfman
 
"Juan Martin, who at 72 continues to share his brother's youthful ideals, wants him to be remembered as a human being, not as a myth. His book is a powerful and affectionate testimony to the life behind the legend."
Foreword Reviews
 
"This book is a surprisingly valuable addition to a somewhat variable literature on Che Guevara."
E-International Relations
 
"A memoir by Che Guevara's brother provides acute insight into the revolutionary icon... an insightful and valuable book."
Morning Star
 
"If you want to delve deeper into how Che the man became Che the icon, and the intimacy of his influence over the boy who knew him as a blood brother rather than a comrade, add this [to your] collection."
