Self-Portrait Ché Guevara Edited by Victor Casaus

Self-Portrait, an intimate look at the man behind the icon, is a remarkable photographic and literary memoir, drawing on the rich seam of diaries, letters, poems, journalism and short stories Che Guevara left behind in Cuba. Unique among the many books about Che Guevara, Self-Portrait has been compiled in close collaboration with Che's family, using exclusive material from his family's private archives. Revealed for the first time is Che Guevara's personal world, unveiling his extraordinary candour, irony, dry humour and passion. The photographs, chosen from the Guevara family albums, bring to light a surprisingly sensitive and artistic edge of the legendary revolutionary. A dedicated amateur photographer, Che's own self-portraits and other photographs are a stunning feature of this book, as is the cover photo - selected by Che's life companion Aleida March.
