''For me it has been hard to accept the idea that Che is dead. I have dreamed of him often, that I spoke with him, that he was alive.'' In this uncharacteristically gentle epitaph in book form, Castro brings Che Guevara - the man, the thinker, and Fidel''s greatest fan - back to life. He recounts his long friendship and collaboration with Che, from their meeting in Mexico City to the military campaigns of the Cuban revolution and includes a frank assessment of the mission to Bolivia where Che was killed. Castro gives us a moving portrait of his long-lasting friendship with Che, including the last days together in Cuba, and offers remarkable insight into the political partnership that changed the face of Latin America forever.
