Since his assassination in 1967 at the age of 39, the Argentine revolutionary has become an internationally famed icon, as revered as he is controversial. A Marxist ideologue, he sought to end global inequality by bringing down the American capitalist empire through armed guerrilla warfare, and has few rivals in the Cold War era as an apostle of change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eChe: A Revolutionary Life\u003c\/em\u003e, Jon Lee Anderson and Jose Hernandez reveal the man behind the myth, creating a complex portrait of this passionate idealist. Adapted from Anderson's masterwork, \u003cem\u003eChe\u003c\/em\u003e transports us from young Ernesto's medical school days to the battlefields of the Cuban revolution; from his place of power alongside Castro to his disastrous sojourn in the Congo, and his violent end in Bolivia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough renowned Mexican artist Jose Hernandez's drawings, we feel the bullets fly past in Cuba, smell the smoke of Castro's cigars, and scrutinise the face of the weary guerrilla as he is called 'Comandante' for the first time. With astonishing precision, colour, and drama, \u003cem\u003eChe\u003c\/em\u003e makes us first-hand witnesses to the revolutionary life and times of this historic figure. Combining Anderson's unprecedented access and research with Hernandez's emotionally gripping artwork, \u003cem\u003eChe\u003c\/em\u003e resurrects the man for a new generation of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46545643569388,"sku":"9780571331703","price":59.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10993143482391.jpg?v=1749814776"},{"product_id":"to-lose-a-war-by-john-lee-anderson-9781804272435","title":"To Lose a War","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJon Lee Anderson first reported from Afghanistan in the late 1980s, covering the US-backed mujahideen's insurrection against the Soviet-backed regime in Kabul. Within days of the 9\/11 attacks, he was again on the ground as an early eyewitness to the new war launched by the US against the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies. At the time, the American military had prevailed on the battlefield, and the newfound peace seemed to offer a precious space for Afghan society to restore itself and to forge a democratic future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut all was not well: Osama bin Laden was still in hiding, the Taliban were stealthily reorganising for a comeback, and the United States was about to turn its attention to Iraq. \u003cem\u003eTo Lose a War\u003c\/em\u003e collects Anderson's writing from Afghanistan over a near-quarter-century span, offering a chronological account of a monumental tragedy as it unfolds. The colossal waste, missed signals, and wishful thinking that characterised the twenty-year arc of the US-led war in Afghanistan have consecrated it as one of the greatest foreign policy failures of the modern era, and a bellwether of a larger American imperial decline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47496808366316,"sku":"9781804272435","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781804272435-to-lose-a-war.jpg?v=1775800345"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/jon-lee-anderson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
