La viuda del Che Guevara recuerda el gran romance revolucionario tragicamente acortado por el asesinato del Che en Bolivia.

When Aleida March first met Che Guevara, she was a twenty-year-old combatant from the provinces of Cuba, he an already legendary revolutionary and larger-than-life leader. And yet there was another, more human side to Che, one Aleida was given special access to, first as his trusted companera and later as the love of his life.

With great immediacy and poignancy, Aleida recounts the story of their epic romance-their fitful courtship against the backdrop of the Cuban revolutionary war, their marriage at the war's end and the birth of their four children, up through Che's tragic assassination in Bolivia less than ten years later. Featuring excerpts from their letters, nearly one hundred never-before-seen photographs from their private collection, and a moving short story Che wrote for Aleida, here is an intimate look at the man behind the legend and the tenacious, courageous woman who knew him best-a story of passionate love, wrenching sacrifice, and unwavering heroism.

Cuando Aleida March primero conoci al Che Guevara, ella era una combatiente de veinte anos del interior de Cuba, el era un ya legendario revolucionario y un exuberante lider. Pero habia una faceta mas humana del Che a la cual Aleida accedi exclusivamente, primero como su companera de confianza y luego como el amor de su vida.

Con gran inmediatez y agudez, Aleida relata la historia de su romance epico -su cortejo intermitente contra el trasfondo de la guerra revolucionaria cubana, su casamiento cuando termin la guerra y el nacimiento de sus cuatro hijos, hasta el asesinato tragico del Che en Bolivia menos de diez anos despues. Incluye fragmentos de sus cartas, casi cien fotografias nunca antes vistas de la colecci n privada y un conmovedor cuento corto sobre el Che escrito por Aleida, este libro es un retrato intimo del hombre detras de la leyenda y la mujer tenaz y valiente que mas lo conocia -un cuento sobre amor apasionado, sacrificio desgarrador y firme heroismo.
