Alvaro Vargas Llosa is clearly one of the foremost 'public intellectuals' of Latin America, and his book, The Che Guevara Myth and the Future of Liberty , is characteristically forthright and timely. The striking contrast between the catastrophic failure of Guevara's murderous collectivism and the success of the alternative course, founded on freedom and individual initiative, is tellingly reflected in this very important volume.
