hey! I have a few recomondations, Che Guvera: a Revolutionary Life, by Jon Lee Anderson is an excellent bio on him, the most complete I have seen. another, is Critican Lives: Che Guvera, by Eric Luther and Ted Henken. also, Che Guvera Reader has many speeches, articles etc by Guvera and is published by Ocean Press with an into by Fiedel Castro. also, the Diary of Che Guvera is Che's notes while he was in Bolivia on his last mission. Revolutionary Path by Kwame Nkrumah is another good book (although he was ultimately full ish) I also reccomend Vison Accomplished?: the Enigma of Ho Chi Minh by N. Khac Huyen. an excellent political bio of Ho by a Viet who lived in Ho's Viet Nam for something like 7 years. this one may be out of print, as it was published in the 70's but its worth digging up if you really want to read it.

Oh, Malay... now I see where you're coming from. Please tell me that you read Che Guevara, one of the great butchers of the 20th Century, only to see an opposing viewpoint.

When I made an offhanded remark about collectivist bastards at you in another thread I never thought that you were, honestly and truly, a collectivist bastard. It always saddens my heart to see collectivists still clinging to the most murderous philosophy ever known to man, yes, even more deadly than nazism.

Tut, I would recommend "Atlas Shrugged" and "We the Living" both by Ayn Rand. Sprinkle in a dose of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn by reading "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" and "The Gulag Archipelago."

Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eiswnhower, George Bush Sr., Charles DeGaulle, Adolf Hilter, Joe Stalin, all the same. Guvera, a butcher? stop kidding your self. you are a wonderful product of the American propaganda system, er educational system, you need to stop making assumptions, Guvera is nowhere near the level that Stalin and co were. just because people in the third world dont want to be raped by rich Americans and are willing to fight them off does not make them butchers. it makes them freedom fighters, or as you would know them "terrorists".

I'll let your post speak for itself. Either you're extremely pessimistic or just plain extreme.
