Retired U.S. Foreign Service Officer Henry Butterfield Ryan shows conclusively that the U.S. government neither killed Che Guevara nor ordered him killed. This book tells the story for the first time of the United States government"s response to Guevara"s ill-starred insurgency in Bolivia in 1967. Henry Butterfield Ryan argues that Guevara"s life must be re-evaluated in light of secret documents only recently released by the CIA, the State Department, the Pentagon, and the National Security Council.
