I think this is probably necessary reading for anyone who ever cared about political change. You don't have to agree with him, but it's fascinating - to a point.
There's a lot of reciting of facts - names mostly - and while it's actually quite touching that he cared enough to want the names of his fellow revolutionaries to be remembered, it doesn't make it a page-turner.
Mostly, it was one of those books which didn't change my mind so much as reassure me that I hold the opinions I hold for good reasons and bring some new clarity to it.
But to be honest? Watch Che: Part One and miss all the dull bits.
