Moving on to "D"

well 3 books down 23 to go 

Book "C"

Che is still revered as a hero in Cuba.

Every day in schools to start the day all the children say  " I wish to be like Che"

I learnt more about my hero from this book, this man is still seen as a idol in Bolivia some women pray to him as they believe he looks like Jesus.

I learnt that Che's hands where cut off and sent to Castro to prove he was dead, he was buried along an airport runway in Bolivia for over 30 years. He was eventually returned to Cuba.

Che is buried in Santa Clara in a lavish monument designed by his daughter. I have visited it and can say it is very serene and spiritial also befits this Hero of Cuba, he is revered by all in this small town who where liberated in the revolution by this warrior of liberation .

Loved this book have read lots on this man but this book gave me an insight to Che the man as well as Che the revolutionary guerrilla......

Che Guevara

by Frank Niess

Really loving reading about one of my HEROES

The myth and moving reality of a man loved by Cuba even though he was born in Argentina.

Only the second man to have the greatest honour of citizenship of Cuba.

He became an icon to Latin Americia.

I Have read many books on this man who is spellbinding and the reason I see Cuba as my spiritial home.

Cuba is such a lovely island, with lovely people and great culture, mostly due to Che

He is now buried with full honours conducted by Fidel Castro in Santa Clara, the village that ended the revolution and gave a gateway to Havana and freedom from Batista, this man was Head of the Bank and started the Cooperative that still operates in Cuba today. He worked with peasants in the fields and fought with the soliders on the battlefield, loved by many his image lives on look at any T.shirt with his face on.
