From the book:

The end of Che Guevara's life came as he lay, feet and hands bound, on the dusty floor of an old schoolhouse in Bolivia. He had spent the better part of his adult life affecting social change and exporting revolution, but, in the end, he was trussed up like an animal. The man who forever altered the future of Cuba was now staring in the face of death. As the gun was raised, Che told his excutioner, "Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man." How right he was. A hail of bullets killed the man but not the myth. Che Guevara would live on, his life and example defying his enemies even in death. What could this one man, this doctor and rebel, have possibly done in his thirty-nine years that would have such an impact on the world that, by the end, even the CIA was instrumental in his demise? What kind of route does a life like Che Guevara's take that finds him transformed into an icon of rebellion and social justice?
