In this memoir, Fidel Castro describes his historic political partnership and personal friendship with Che Guevara, a relationship that changed the course of Cuban politics and world history.
"For me it has been hard to accept the idea that Che is dead. I have dreamed of him often, that I spoke with him, that he was alive."
In this uncharacteristically gentle epitaph in book form, Castro brings Che Guevara--the man, the thinker, and Fidel's greatest fan--back to life. He recounts his long friendship and collaboration with Che, from their meeting in Mexico City to the military campaigns of the Cuban revolution and includes a frank assessment of the mission to Bolivia where Che was killed. Castro gives us a moving portrait of his long-lasting friendship with Che, including the last days together in Cuba, and offers remarkable insight into the political partnership that changed the face of Latin America forever.
