The Fall of Che Guevara - A Story of Soldiers, Spies, and Diplomats

This book tells the story -- for first time -- of the United States government's response to Guevara's ill-starred insurgency in Bolivia in 1967. Henry Butterfield Ryan argues that Guevara's life must be re-evaluated in light of secret documents only recently released by the CIA, the State Department, the Pentagon, and the National, Security Council. Ryan's dramatic account of the last days of Che Guevara is sure to appeal to all readers interested in this modern revolutionary's remarkable life.
