The controversial life and career of Ernesto Ché Guevara (1928-1967) has earned the revolutionary leader admirers and detractors across the world. In his critical biography, Daniel James penetrates the myths that have grown up around Guevara since his death. The biography carefully analyzes the Cold War situations in which Guevara lived and fought, and which turned the young medical student into a guerilla and political theoretician. Ché Guevara: A Biography includes interviews with Guevara's first wife, and extensive information on the revolutionary's early years and family life lacking in other biographies. James also discusses Guevara's actions in Cuba as a leader in the rebel army of Fidel Castro, covering in detail Guevara's military victories, his post-war executions of anti-Castro prisoners, and his criticism of Soviet Communism. This unique and unsparing portrait of Guevara includes and an in-depth examination of his last guerilla campaign in Bolivia.

(In Belfast a young British lieutenant, Jonathan Norris, is killed by five rounds from an M60 machine gun. One more bald statistic to add to the mounting toll of death on the streets of Northern Ireland. For trusted IRA gunner Patrick Donnelly, another notch on his rifle, another successful mission. He assumes the soldier s life is ended. He is wrong. Those fatal bullets push Jonathan s father, Richard, beyond the brink of despair. He craves a punishment more lasting than execution. With deadly stealth, Norris begins to track the assassin, slowly assembling the elements which will make his revenge complete... Across Ireland, England and America, James Daniel s powerful debut thriller follows the aftermath of a killing and the lethal madness it provokes.)

Resistance and Integration: Peronism and the Argentine Working Class, 1946–1976 (Cambridge Latin American Studies, Series Number 64)

This book analyzes the relationship between Peronism and the Argentine working class from the foundation of the Peronist movement in the mid 1940s to the overthrow of Peron's widow in 1976. It presents an account of such crucial issues as the role of the Peronist union bureaucracy and the impact of the Peronist ideology on workers. Drawing on a variety of untapped sources, Daniel James confronts many of the dominant myths that have surrounded the movement. He argues that its role in containing working-class militancy cannot be explained solely in terms of manipulation, corruption, or union gangsterism.
