The life and legacy of Che Guevara has caught my interest lately, however I've found it difficult to find biographical sources that don't either overly praise him as an inspirational hero, or vilify him as a totalitarian war criminal, or just give some minimal facts on his life. I've never looked into him or the history of Marxism in general before so a good 'starting point' to branch my personal research from would be appreciated.(Would prefer to focus on Che rather than general Marxism) Two things I'd like to request in order to further my knowledge of the man and to cultivate a new/different discussion on the forum (it needs it).
1: Opinion: What is your opinion of Che Guevara, his ideology, acts and impact. Further expand this to include your opinions on Fidel Castro and the Marxist movements he and Che participated in.
2: What sources do you know of that are unlikely to be too biased towards anything but the objective truth of what he did, better or for worse? (Books, sites, films, documentaries, etc.)
