Dr. Ernesto Rafael Guevara de la Serna (June 14, 1928[1] – October 9, 1967), commonly known as Che Guevara or el Che, was an Argentine-born Marxist revolutionary and Cuban guerrilla leader. Guevara was a member of Fidel Castro's "26th of July Movement," which seized power in Cuba in 1959. After serving in various important posts in the new government, Guevara left Cuba in 1965 with the hope of fomenting revolutions in other countries, first in the Congo-Kinshasa (currently the Democratic Republic of the Congo) and later in Bolivia, where he was captured in a CIA-organized military operation. It is believed by some that the CIA wished to keep Guevara alive for interrogation, but he died at the hands of the Bolivian Army in La Higuera near Vallegrande on October 9, 1967. The details of his death are unclear, but many believe the Bolivian government purposefully executed him in order to avoid a public trial and potential martyrization of Che's image. After his death, Guevara became a hero of Third World Communist revolutionary movements, as a theorist and tactician of asymmetric warfare. He also became a popular icon for revolution and left-wing political ideals in Western culture.
