Che: A Memoir By Fidel Castro by Fidel Castro

In a new, expanded edition of a best-selling Ocean classic, Castro describes a historic political partnership that changed the face of Cuba and Latin America. He vividly portrays Che--the man, the revolutionary, and the thinker--recounting in detail his last days with Che in Cuba, giving a remarkably frank assessment of the Bolivian mission.

Fidel Castro, in an unusually gentle, quite emotional mood, remarks, For me it has been hard to accept the idea that Che is dead. I have dreamed of him often, that I spoke with him, that he was alive . . . Includes Castro's speech on the return of Che's remains to Cuba in 1997.

After initiating an armed attack against the Batista government, Fidel Castro was released from prison and fled into exile. He met Ernesto Guevara, a young Argentine doctor, one night in Mexico. Che agreed to join the journey back to Cuba to reestablish popular power after they talked till morning, expressing their ideas and hopes. The rest, as they say, is history.
