Travelling with Che Guevara

Product Description

In 1952 Alberto Granado, a young doctor, and his friend Ernesto Guevara, a 23-year-old medical student from a distinguished Buenos Aires family, decided to explore their continent. They set off from Cordoba in Argentina on a 1949 Norton 500cc motorbike and travelled through Chile, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela. They worked as casual labourers along the way; as football coaches, medical assistants and haulage hands. The poverty and exploitation of the native population changed them for ever. Each man later wrote an account of the journey.
