The Che Handbook by Jenkins Gareth; Barrio Hilda
This beautiful book gives new life to the values and thinking of the Che Guevara behind the legend, a man who was at once sensitive, passionate and determined to pursue his socialist dreams to their conclusion. Che is viewed through the camera lens of key Cuban photographers, through posters and other images, and through the iconography that grew up after his death in 1967 while trying to start a revolution in Bolivia.
