A Bolivian guerrilla force led by Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara is with a special detachment of the Bolivian army. Guevara was wounded, captured and executed the next day.
Born in Argentina, Guevara believed that a man of action could revolutionize a people. He played a pivotal role in the Cuban Revolution of 1956-59 and encouraged Fidel Castro to pursue his communist, anti-American agenda.
After holding several positions in Castro鈥檚 government, he disappeared from Cuba in 1965. He secretly traveled to the Congo, where he trained rebels, and in 1966 resurfaced in Bolivia as leader of another guerrilla group.
Since his death, Guevara has been idolized as a hero of leftist revolution.
