This excerpt is good:
Two years later, during his Bolivian “guerrilla” campaign, Che split his forces, whereupon they got hopelessly lost and bumbled around, half-starved, half-clothed and half-shod, without any contact with each other for six months before being wiped out. They didn’t even have World War II vintage walkie-talkies to communicate and seemed incapable of applying a compass reading to a map. They spent much of the time walking in circles and were usually within a mile of each other. During this blundering, they often engaged in ferocious firefights against each other.
“You hate to laugh at anything associated with Che, who murdered so many,” says Rodriguez, the Cuban- American CIA officer who played a key role in tracking Guevara down in Bolivia. “But when it comes to Che as ‘guerrilla,’ you simply can’t help but guffaw.”
What have the Cubans done since the Bay of Pigs?
Amazing Che faced death so poorly. Latin men generally know that one is supposed to play the final scene as well as one can. Machismo is often nothing but the sin of pride but it does imbue even poor men who have led vicious lives with the strength to face the final curtain with some dignity and courage. How disappointing, even villains should go out with courage, it does not redeem a bad life but it does redeem the last act. Unfortunately, Guevara was a weasel in his last minutes. The man who sent hundreds to their deaths faced death as a coward.
