Remembering Che

Remembering Che by Aleida March is a poignant memoir where Che Guevara's widow recounts a great revolutionary romance tragically cut short by Che's assassination in Bolivia.

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

With great immediacy and poignancy, Aleida recounts the story of their epic romance—their fitful courtship set against the backdrop of the Cuban revolutionary war, their marriage at the war's end, and the birth of their four children, leading up to 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 that Che wrote for Aleida, this memoir provides 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.
