I really don't know how to write a review for this.

The last two chapters have left me devastated.

I don't think I'll ever read a better biography or develop a better understanding of anyone that I haven't personally met. There's so much detail and historical information. The book almost works as a really detailed history of post-WW2 Latin America as well as an extremely detailed history of the Cuban Revolution and the first few years of socialist Cuba. It delves deep into the events, the people, and the political climate of that era.

But as much information as there is, the complete picture that Anderson paints of Che is just amazing. He shows Che as someone with an undying revolutionary fervor, always ready to fight for what he believes in. At the same time, he also reveals a more gentle side of Che, a side that maybe not many people knew about. God, he's so hot. It's not just his physical appearance, but the passion and the ideals that he represents that make him so attractive. This book has truly made me see Che in a whole new light.

From the book text:

The passionate excitement and turmoil, along with the cold and analytical way of thinking, which was an improper combination, further strengthened his unwavering faith. This contradictory blend was most likely the key to his quasi-famous success, although it seems that his natural weakness also stemmed from here; a kind of innocent simplicity and naivete. He, who had abundant expertise in identifying and estimating the wide-ranging dimensions of military strategies, suddenly became helpless in understanding one of the small details that made up the whole picture. A prominent example of this is the disastrous choice of Massetti to lead the Argentinean guerrilla. There, in Cuba, in the Congo, and in Bolivia, those whom he had pinned his hopes on constantly failed to meet his expectations, and he also remained helpless in making fundamental changes to others and transforming them into "communists of their own past." But alongside the mistakes he had made, what was most memorable was his personal pattern, a manifestation of faith, will, and selflessness.
