'As exciting and readable as a Cold War thriller' The Times

'Brings back the danger and intense emotions of that revolutionary period...it reads like adventure fiction' Independent

The story of the remarkable and revolutionary friendship between two of the most iconic figures in twentieth century history - Fidel Castro and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara.

Not yet thirty, Fidel Castro and Ernesto Guevara met in 1955 while both in exile in Mexico City. Guevara, the Argentine doctor plagued by asthma, had reached the end of the travels he began by motorcycle several years before. Fidel Castro, peasant's son, scholar and rebel, had just fled Cuba, fearing for his life. Over the next twelve years, until Guevara's death in 1967, their journey together would take them from the safe houses of Mexico's political underground, to war in the Cuban mountains and ultimately into the heart of the Cold War.

Drawing on extensive research, including declassified material and interviews with key figures in Havana, Moscow and Washington, Simon Reid-Henry uncovers, for the first time, the full story behind the central relationship of the Cuban revolution: their shared revolutionary ambitions, their conflicting personalities, the wilfulness that bound them together and the pressures that would tear them apart.

Fidel and Che is the story of two men who shared a common dream; who became friends, comrades and brothers-in-arms; and who, finally, would make an epic choice between their friendship and their beliefs.

Product description

Review

As exciting and readable as a Cold War thriller ― The Times

Reid-Henry brings back the danger and intense emotions of that revolutionary period...it reads like adventure fiction. ― Independent

Gripping...deeply impressive...rigorously sourced ― Independent on Sunday

Two big figures, one fine debut: It is quite a task to make your first book a lucid, pulsating study of not one but two huge figures, but Simon Reid-Henry pulls it off . . . Reid-Henry produces a taut history of two men who brought out the best in each other and came to embody the very notion of modern-day protest. ― The Economist's Intelligent Life

Absorbing ― Sunday Times

Lucid, well-researched and highly readable ― City AM

Book Description

The first dual biography of the most remarkable political friendship of the twentieth century: Fidel Castro and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2014

    Have never had much interest in Cuban history and never knew much about Fidel and Che until a recent visit. I was lent a copy of the book but had to give it back before I finished it, hence the reason for buying this copy on Amazon. I am now engrossed and have found this to be a very good read to the extent that I now have a pile of books to wade through on Che and on Cuban history itslef. This book is well written and is almost like a novel. Have not got through to the end yet but expect it to extend my knowledge of Che and Fidel no end.

    I liked this book very much, being that Che Guevara is one of my favorite personalities. Fidel not so much, but they seem to go hand in hand. I'd like to get my book club to read this book, but unfortunately they are stuck with sappy books, and books on Nevada! You don't have to be a Revolutionary to read this book and enjoy it. Forever Che!

    Being a bit of a 'leftie' I found this book very interesting, examining two significant characters from the latter half of the last century; how they influenced each other to make changes to the world in which they lived, and where we now live.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile Rwading
    Reviewed in the United States on 5 November 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Not as good as Jon Anderson's biography, but not really meant to be. This book focuses more on the interaction between Che and Fidel, and less on the historical context. Very much worth the time, just not an in-depth study.
