Che Guevara
Revolutionary fervor drove this doctor-turned-guerrilla across continents. After helping Fidel Castro overthrow Cuba’s Batista regime in 1959, he took his revolutionary ideas to Congo and Bolivia. Guevara’s tactical manual on guerrilla warfare influenced insurgencies worldwide. Captured and executed in Bolivia in 1967, his image became an enduring symbol of rebellion against established power structures throughout the world. His final words to his executioner were reportedly, “Shoot, coward. You are only going to kill a man.”
