Che Wants to See You The Untold Story of Che Guevara

For the first time, Ciro Bustos, Che's right-hand man in the struggle for Argentina, tells his story. As a young man inspired by the example of Cuba, Bustos was determined to bring revolution to the home country he shared with his hero. After a failed attempt to liberate Argentina, it was not until 1966 that he was contacted by the Cubans once again and told, "Che wants to see you." Under false papers, Bustos crossed the border into Bolivia, where Che was in hiding with his guerrilla forces; and here, for the first time, Che shared his plans for a continental revolution. In this fascinating memoir, Ciro Bustos tells us a story only he is able to recount: what really happened in Bolivia in 1967 and why he did not betray Che.

Ciro Bustos was born in Mendoza in 1932. After his release from prison in Bolivia he first moved to Chile, but had to flee to Argentina following the 1973 coup. He fled Argentina three years later after another coup, and now lives in Malmo, Sweden. El Che Quiere Verte was published in Argentina in 2007.
