A Revolutionary Life Indeed!!

A truly epic story from his youth in Argentina to his untimely and tragically premature death in Bolivia. I found the book engrossing, listening to many chapters several times to fully absorb the details. Che has been a hero of my since my youth and this book truly communicated the genius of his passion.

Four years of horrific fighting have finally ended on the battlefield, but in the spring of 1919, Paris is filled with delegates from around the world who are still trying to hammer out the terms of peace.

Story
He was the most feared and loathed Indian of his time, earning his reputation in surprise victories against the troops of Generals Crook and Custer at the Rosebud and Little Bighorn. Despite his enduring reputation, he has remained an enigma (even the whereabouts of his burial place are unknown, and no portrait or photograph of him exists). Now, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Thomas Powers brings Crazy Horse to life in this vivid work of American history.

A fascinating and heartbreaking story of a true rebel and defender of his people, fighting an ignoble battle against an endlessly untrustworthy foe. Worth a second listen for details.

Story
Published on the 15th anniversary of the Six-Day War that culminated in the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Pappe offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the world's most prolonged and tragic conflicts. Using recently declassified archival material, Pappe analyses the motivations and strategies of the generals and politicians-and the decision-making process itself - that laid the foundation of the occupation. Pappe paints a picture of what is to all intents and purposes the world's largest "open prison".

Elan Pappe is a devoted historian and each of his books is an education on Palestine, as well as a personal journey into the life and long struggle of an occupied people.
