ago this week was captured and shot in Bolivia (see article)? Partly the
consistency with which he followed his own injunction that “the duty of the
revolutionary is to make the revolution”.
A frail asthmatic, he took up arms with Fidel Castro's guerrillas in Cuba's
Sierra Maestra. After their victory, Guevara would fight again in the Congo
as well as Bolivia.
He fought dictators who were backed by the United States in the name of anti
-communism when the cold war was at its hottest, and when Guevara's cry to
create “two, three...many Vietnams” resonated on university campuses
across the world. His renewed popularity in recent years owes much to a
revival of anti-Americanism. | x******g
