The young Left romanticize Che Guevara to the moon, but this photo conveys the real story. Guevara was a lousy commander who completely misjudged his objectives, whose troops were shot to pieces, and who was easily captured by the hapless Bolivian army. He died ignominiously, pleading for his life.
Too bad we can't see his other hand in this photo. Supposedly a CIA agent cut it off and took it back to Washington, DC for identification.
