Guevara, Che \n \n\n \n(Ernesto Guevara)  (chā gāvä´rä, ārnĕs´tō) , 1928—67, Cuban revolutionary and political leader, b. Argentina. Trained as a physician at the Univ. of Buenos Aires, he took part (1952) in riots against the dictator Juan Perón in Argentina, joined agitators in Bolivia, and worked in a leper colony. In 1953 he went to Guatemala, joined the leftist regime of Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán, and when Arbenz was overthrown (1954) fled to Mexico, where he met Fidel Castro and other Cuban rebels. Guevara became Castro's chief lieutenant soon after the rebel invasion of Cuba in 1956, in which he proved to be a resourceful guerrilla leader. As president of the national bank after the fall (Jan., 1959) of Fulgencio Batista he was instrumental in cutting Cuba's traditional ties with the United States and in directing the flow of trade to the Communist bloc. He served (1961—65) as minister of industry. At heart a revolutionary rather than an administrator, he left Cuba in 1965 to foster revolutionary activity in the Congo and other countries. In 1967, directing an ineffective guerrilla movement in Bolivia, he was wounded, captured, and executed by government troops. Guevara wrote Guerrilla Warfare (1961), Man and Socialism in Cuba (1967), Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War (1968), and The African Dream (2001), a forthright account of the failed Congo rebellion.\n\nSee his diaries, ed. by R. Scheer (1968) and by D. James (1968); his speeches and writings, ed. by J. Gerassi (1968) and D. Deutschmann (1987); biography by J. L. Anderson (1997); D. James, Che Guevara (1969); M. Ebon, Che: The Making of a Legend (1969); L. J. González and G. A. Sánchez Salazar, The Great Rebel (tr. 1969); R. Harris, Death of a Revolutionary (1970); L. Sauvage, Che Guevara: The Failure of a Revolutionary (1974).  \n\nDo you always listen to your Father? Looks like he was involved with the military...

Not at all. Polarization if anything. The good that may be in a person is nothing he can take credit for and exists outside the doings of people in a way. More often than not, it has to.

It was clever on his part actually. You have to admire that if only that. He manipulated the US into helping him overthrow Batista then told the US to screw themselves and kicked out the mob and all american business. So he really is a brilliant man.

Tough call... I'm going to say Ghandi, I think he did the most good for the most people.

... fairly straight forward I believe.\n\nOne good man is worth ten [bad ones].\n\nA single man that knows what to do is as good as ten men that don't know what to do.

He was able to create a revolution, so yes - but at the same time, his revolution was completely immoral, inhuman, and did not succeed. He was defeated, however, through his leadership, dictatorship, and manipulative skills he was able to create a revolution.

I agree! He is protecting our country very well! And his christian values make him a good person.

Unfortunately, yes.  Good and Evil are human attributes, so an evil person is one of us, as much as we'd like to disown him.

ummm nope. b4 yes. i thought he was. but come to think of it. his great deeds were not been apreciated by the present filipinos. why? because his bad deeds had more weight. but past is past. i think Garcia is the best. his policies and in that time the economy (currency) of the philippines is much much better than today.

I think they do not have all the information available on Che.  During the Cuban Missile Crisis, he confided in Castro that if Cubans had control of the missiles, he would lobby that they be fired at American cities should the crisis deepen.\n\nThat would have killed tens of millions of people.  As a pacifist, I cannot support that.

yes!!  \n\nTake a look at President Reagan.  He was given so much critisism for Iran Contra, Evil Empire, and Star Wars.  But look now, he's revered as a great man who caused the collapse of communism.  It's all about sticking to your beliefs and I think that's exactly what President Bush is doing.  There's always going to be critics.  But the smart people, the majority do see President Bush as doing a good  job.

Che Ernesto Guevara was a Revolutionary who believed, fought and died for freedom, equal rights and justice. A doctor by profession and an Argentine by birth. But most remarkably a guerrilla war expert and philanthropist. He was a close friend and confidant of Fidel Castro Ruz. He fought alongside Castro and other fellow revolutionaries in the Cuban guerrilla / revolutionary war which brought the end of the notorious dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista whose reign came to an end when he fled Havana on the 31st of December 1958.\n\nOn 1st January 1959, Castro and his comrades took over Moncada Barracks and thus began a new era in Cuban History.\nChe was made a Minister in Castro's Cabinet, but after a short while Che left Havana to continue his campaign against oppression. He has fought alongside several other comrades in several Latin American countries.\n\nHe died in Bolivia, in the hands of the CIA it is believed. May his generous soul rest in peace. He was a remarkable  person, a writer, photographer, philosopher, humanist & philantropist.

Cuba was a nation of 6.5 million in 1959. Within three months in power, Castro and Che had shamed the Nazi prewar incarceration and murder rate. One defector claims that Che signed 500 death warrants, another says over 600. Cuban journalist Luis Ortega, who knew Che as early as 1954, writes in his book "Yo Soy El Che!" that Guevara sent 1,897 men to the firing squad. In his book "Che Guevara: A Biography," Daniel James writes that Che himself admitted to ordering "several thousand" executions during the first few years of the Castro regime.
