Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The gifted bilingual narrator Armando Durán speaks both American English and the abundant Latin-American Spanish without a trace of accent from the other. His fluency with both languages synchronizes the messenger with the message…A riveting biography. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
“Dogged reporting has enabled him to do is to tell us, in wonderful new detail, about the hero as a youth.” —New Yorker
“Superb…Anderson does a masterly job in evoking Che’s complex character, in separating the man from the myth.” —New York Times Book Review 
“Excellent…admirably honest [and] staggeringly researched.” —Los Angeles Times
“[Guevara’s] victories and failures, equally spectacular, are part of our common history…Che lives, not only in this book, but in the world.” —Boston Globe
“[Che’s] curious mixture of resoluteness and recklessness…is brilliantly evoked in Jon Lee Anderson’s massive biography.” —Times Literary Supplement (London)
“Armando Durán gives a brilliant performance that captures Che in all his contradictions. Duran displays his inherent acting ability in this reading that does full justice to the prose and never fails to captivate, despite the near 37-hour length.” —Publishers Weekly (starred audio review)
“[An] exceptional and exciting biography.” —Booklist
“Paints a portrait of Guevara as both hero and fanatic…Students of Che’s life and deeds need look no farther than Anderson’s volume.” —Kirkus Reviews
“An important journalistic biography that is sympathetic to this influential figure. Though controversy will surround this book (as it always does when the subject is Che), this is an important volume that should be in all academic and most public libraries.” —Library Journal
