Rezension bezieht sich auf: Che: A Memoir: A Memoir by Fidel Castro (Taschenbuch)
Fidel Castro has given a book that enables us at last, to adress the questions some people are insistently, even obsessively asking about Che Guevara. Who was he? What was his character? What was his political philosophy? I thought he was a Cubans but he was not. Ernesto Guevara was born in Argentina. He was already becoming involved in political activity during and immediately after his study at medical school in Buenos Aires. He dedicated all his life to revolution.
He played a decisive role in the military defeat of Batista in Cuba. After Batista fled, became Che ( the Cubans hicknamed him "Che" an Argentina term of greeting ) a key leader of the new revolutionary government. He was also a central leader of the political organization that became the Communist Party of Cuba. Apart from these responsibilities Che Guevara often represented the Cuban revolutionary government around the world. As had been his intention since joining the Cuban revolutionary movement Che was supposed to initiate a creation of "two, three, many Vietnams" to brake American power.
Che left Cuba in April 1965, initially to lead a Cuban-organized guerrilla mission to support the revolutionary struggle in the Congo. Six month later he supposed to prepare another Cuban-organized guerrilla force for Bolivia, where he was wounded and captured by US-trained and run Bolivian counterinsurgency troop on October 8, 1967. The following day he was killed and his body was hidden... Che Guevara's mortal remains were discovered in 1997 and returned to Cuba.
Che was one of the most charismatic personality but he was one of those people who had no personal ambitions. There was nothing else, he only wanted to do his duty. He lived for the revolution, he died for the revolution. Today one would say, Che was assigned to lead terrorism. In my opinion he was a fanatic...
The world has been shaken by the force of concussion at the events o 1968 as all over the world cities were overwhelmed by student radicals who battled police and took to the streets demanding not only an end to American's war in Vietnam but insisting on unprecedented recognition of student power ( exemplary: in Germany the beginning of RAF ). Their Ideal and hero was nobody else but Che Guevara, who remained the most admired personality of the last century...
I do not agree with the dictatorship of Fidel Castro at all, but his memoir of Ernesto Che Guevara has been written informative and fine detailed. That's why I put in five award points.
