Ernesto "Che" Guevara, commonly known as el Che or Che (June 14, 1928 - October 9, 1967)[1] was an Argentine Marxist, revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla, diplomat, and military theorist. He is popular with socialists. In addition to that he was a writer and some of his articles and speeches were even published.
Time magazine said he was one of the most influential people of the 20th century.[2] Guevara's face, with his thick black hair, scruffy beard and familiar beret, has been printed on T-shirts, walls and banners.[3] Guerrillero Heroico, a picture of him, is called "the most famous photograph in the world."[4]
