Who is Che, really? For Americans — a terrible travelling salesman of revolution, with a reward of 50,000 pesos placed on his head. For most French people — a photogenic playboy, a demon of adventure, of which so many young people dream. For the inhabitants of the Third World — friend number one, a fascinating symbol, the embodiment of a myth. For the entire world — a romantic Don Quixote. (Albert-Paul Lentin, “Guevara’s Challenge,” Le Nouvel Observateur)
