Che Guevara


To outline about Che, Che was a marxist, Politician, Author, Medico and guerilla leader during 1950's. Che is Medico by profession transformed into combatant during the confrontation where more than 60 out 0f 82 in Gueara's army were attacked and executed. Che played a vital role in Cuban revolution under the leadership of Fidel Castro against imperialism of United States. Castro appointed Guevara as chief official at the National Institute of Agrarian Reform INRA and later President of the National Bank of Cuba BNC, while allowing him to retain his military rank. Later Guevara lead Congo's revolution and aimed to export Cuban Revolution by instructing local Simba fighters in marxist ideology and foco theory strategies of guerrilla warfare. he cites the incompetence, intransigence and infighting of the local Congolese forces as key reasons for the revolt's failure. Later that year, ill with dysentery, suffering from asthma, and disheartened after seven months of frustrations, Guevara left the Congo with the Cuban survivors. (Six members of his column had died.) At one point Guevara considered sending the wounded back to Cuba, and fighting alone until the end in the Congo, as a revolutionary example; however, after being urged by his comrades and pressed by two emissaries sent by Castro, at the last moment he reluctantly agreed to retreat. A few weeks later, when writing the preface to the diary he kept during the Congo venture, he began: "This is the history of a failure."
Guevara was reluctant to return to Cuba, because Castro had made public Guevara's "farewell letter" —a letter intended to only be revealed in the case of his death—wherein he severed all ties in order to devote himself to revolution throughout the world.

Later Guevara trained bolivian military army secretly and later his capture and execution happend in Bolivia.


Few impressive things about Guevara are -

1. His tour to latin-america during his studies, where he witnessed poverity and later responded

2. His vast knowledge by reading numerous books. It was said that in adolescent age, his house contained 3000 books.

3. His brutality and ruthlessness and harsh disciplinary treatment. During the guerrilla campaign, Guevara was also responsible for the execution of a number of men accused of being informers, deserters or spies.

4. His tours to various countries to export marxism and help revolutions.

Few things to be doubted are -

why did Cuba exiles community oppose Guevara? Exiles inturn helped CIA in finding Guevara. This leads to a doubt about what this brutal boy did in Cuba after revolution...
