Che Guevara has the most effective public relations department on earth. The Argentine guerrilla and modern Cuba\u2019s co-founding father has been fashioned into a hipster icon, a counter-cultural hero, an anti-establishment rebel, and a champion of the poor.

He was Fidel Castro\u2019s chief executioner, a mass-murderer who in theory could have commanded any number of Latin American death squads, from Peru\u2019s Shining Path <\/a>on the political left to Guatemala\u2019s White Hand<\/a> on the right.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
