Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-09 00:00:00 Jj Smith This is a book that I thought would be a good learning aide to what happened with Cuba & Castro. It was not something I would recommend. Not only was it a hard read but it was also alot to get through. I mean is there really a necessity to talk about the different spies/counterintelligence folk in detail? I don't really care about that stuff. The more I read the faster I wanted to get through it, I may have even skipped a chapter too. I don't know what everyone's obsession w/ Che Guevera is either, I mean as a revolutionary he was still a communist just like Castro. Knowing the impacts of certain other countries & their ties to Cuba was a bit interesting but I really found it bizarre as well. Trying to infiltrate other countries on different continents is a big order & trying to succeed at it was not something I saw as an easy task. It wasn't what I expected so I didn't really get as much out of it as I wanted to.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-10-08 00:00:00 Nick Stasio Great, in depth, well written memoir about Che. Che was no saint, but he had profound compassion for the poor and underclasses and put his life on the line for his beliefs... Of coz as a revolutionary leader he had a cruel, or even brutal side. But to me...no matter what - he's absolutely fascinating human being!
