They travelled not to visit the usual tourist attractions, but to meet ordinary people and understand Latin American life. In amidst the tales of youthful adventures - of women, wine, thrilling escapes and the power of friendship - the young Che also learns first-hand about poverty, philosophy and philosophy and forms himself into the man who would become the world's most famous and admired revolutionary and freedom fighter. 'For every comic escapade of the carefree roustabout there is an equally eye-opening moment in the development of the future revolutionary leader. By the end of the journey, a politicized Guevara has emerged to predict his own legendary future' Time Review: Great book about a great adventure - The words 'epic' and 'icon' get bandied around a lot these days, to the point where they become devalued it seems. However, Che Guevara is certainly an icon and the ride described in this book is nothing other than an epic. it now has pride of place in the library here at Farkham Hall Stores in Chepstow. Customers can leaf through it while choosing their motorcycle accessories, parts and clothing. I hope that will inspire them to go home and buy their own copy.
