ReviewsJames has not only gone through the many anecdotal articles which have appeared over the years in Argentine, Mexican, and Cuban periodicals but has also spoken at length with Ch 's first wife. The strongest parts of the book are the initial chapters with sketch Guevara's family background and the Argentina in which he grew to maturity, What makes James's book interesting is that it gives readers not only a glimpse of a political attitude from the 1960s that is often overlooked, but also a view of Guevara that they will not get elsewhere. James's biography was, and remains, remarkable because of its point of view. He was frankly out to debunk Guevara's Myth., James has not only gone through the many anecdotal articles which have appeared over the years in Argentine, Mexican, and Cuban periodicals but has also spoken at length with Ché's first wife.
