At the end of this book I was deeply moved. I could feel tears in my eyes. Reading these letters was a journey, a historical and political one, a cultural and personal, an emotional and intellectual experience. This book took me into the various dimensions that defined Che Guevara's life, bringing closer the details and the voice than the popular image and iconic voice he's long been famous for. To read his words to different people, one gets to see the different views that informed his own and the directions his views would lead him. This collection of letters, perfectly organised, helps organise the understanding around Che Guevara, giving the reader the context and a little background of where Che's famous words and quotes come from and what meaning they hold in the context of their origin and potentially others, then and now. The greatest achievement of this offering is the beauty of the letters themselves, poetic, serious and deeply human, all at once. Che Guevara is shown to be a person of many roles and hats, but who was a human being despite and through it all. A human being who lived and died, for what he loved and believed in. This spirit of love is evident in these letters and now in the form of this book can be experienced and shared by all who engage with it. What a beautiful, interesting and inspiring experience this book was!

above all, always be capable of feeling deeply any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world. this is the most beautiful quality in a revolutionary.

To read the mind of a person from beginning to end, what a crazy concept and privilege. From his youth up until the last moments, Che was an authentic, integrity filled man and above all humane.

Commentary and introductory analysis wasn’t quite as thorough as I would have desired, but other than that this was a pretty stunning read. Much to think about 👍

Letters are rather difficult to get into. Not in the right head space.
