Drawing on sources in Cuba, Latin America, the United States, Europe, and Russia, and on material not available to previous biographers, Simon Reid-Henry has crafted a compelling portrait of a revolutionary era and the two men whose names and deeds personify it: Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. What began as an association of convenience would fundamentally shape their political visions, propelling them further than either had dared imagine. Ironically, though, their jointly conceived vision of revolution would ultimately force them to choose between friendship and their beliefs.--From publisher description. 600 10 Castro, Fidel,|d1926-2016 600 10 Castro, Fidel,|d1926-2016|xFriends and associates. 600 10 Guevara, Che,|d1928-1967. 600 10 Guevara, Che,|d1928-1967|xFriends and associates. 650 0 Revolutionaries|zLatin America|vBiography. 650 0 Heads of state|zCuba|vBiography. 651 0 Cuba|xHistory|yRevolution, 1959. 938 Blackwell Book Service|bBBUS|nR7798193|c$28.00 994 02|bWHP
