About Che Guevara in brief
Ernesto Guevara was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. He was captured by CIA-assisted Bolivian forces and summarily executed on 9 October 1967. He remains both a revered and reviled historical figure, polarized in the collective imagination in a multitude of biographies, memoirs, essays, documentaries, songs, and films. His name sometimes appears with either de la Serna or Lynch, with the surname accompanying it. His father was a staunch supporter of the Spanish Civil War, and often hosted many veterans from the conflict in Buenos Aires. Despite suffering crippling bouts of acute asthma throughout his life, he excelled as an athlete, enjoying swimming, football, golf, cycling, and playing fly-half for Universitario de Buenos Aires rugby club. He also wrote a seminal guerrilla warfare manual, along with a best-selling memoir about his youthful continental motorcycle journey. He left Cuba in 1965 to foment continental revolutions across both Africa and South America, first unsuccessfully in Congo-Kinshasa and later in Bolivia, where he was captured and executed. His last words to his family were: “I love you all.
I love you very much, and I will see you in the future.” He was the eldest of five children in a upper-class Argentine family of Spanish and Irish descent by the ancestor of his mother, Patrick Lynch. Although his legal name on his birth certificate was \”Ernestro GueVara\”, his name sometimes appeared with de laSerna and/or Lynch, as well as the name of his father’s business. He developed an affinity for the poor early in life, and developed an affinity for the poor as well. He later became an avid rugby union player, and played at the University of Buenos Aires de Aires. He died of a heart attack in October 1967 at the age of 48. He is buried in a cemetery in Rosario, Argentina, with his wife and three children. He had a daughter and a son with his second wife, who died of lung cancer in 1989 at age 50. He has a daughter with his third wife, María de los Santos, and a stepson with whom he had a son, Alejandro. He wrote a bestseller, “The Man Who Became a Leader”, about his experiences in the Cuban revolution. He was also a prolific writer and diarist, composing a seminal guerrilla warfare manual and a memoir. He served as both national bank president and instructional director for Cuba’s armed forces, and traversed the globe as a diplomat on behalf of Cuban socialism. His son Alejandro is now the president of Argentina, and is a member of the Argentinian parliament.
