The Argentinian revolutionary is publishing a set of diaries of Che , 44 years after his death

Age: 83 years (39 of them alive).
Appearance: Bloody everywhere.
Not him again. Yes, him again. Argentinian rugby player, doctor, writer, soldier, politician, freelance revolutionary, beret model and father of five, Ernesto "Che" Guevara. The coolest man ever to not quite grow a beard.
You forgot "self-starter". Thanks. Anyway, he's got a new book out.
Recipes for busy parents? Sadly, no. It's an unpublished set of diaries.
Oh well, I suppose writing anything is impressive from a dead person. How did he manage it? Well, the actual writing part he did while he was still alive.
Clever. And his widow's been sitting on it since his execution in 1967. The book was released on Tuesday in Havana, she said, "to show his work, his thoughts, his life, so that the Cuban people and the entire world get to know him and don't distort things any more".
Very wise. If you want to put a stop to tittle-tattle, you really need to get your story out within the first 44 years. What are these diaries about? Revolution.
You don't say. I do. Guevara started writing them in 1956 shortly after landing in Cuba, with Castro, on board the yacht Granma. They describe the following two years, which he spent travelling around the island's mountainous interior, conducting a guerrilla war to overthrow the Batista regime.
In a jeep called Grandad? That seems unlikely. You'll have to read the book.
Any chance of a precis? Did some war . . . Read Sartre to campesinos . . . Smoked pipe, thinking about US imperialism . . . Did a bit more war . . . Executed traitor . . . War's going well today . . . Adjusted beret . . .
I can't bear the tension. Don't worry. He wins in the end.
Do say: "'Che' is an Argentinian slang term, roughly equivalent in use to the way that some English speakers place 'man' at the beginning or end of sentences. Guevara used the word so frequently during his time in Guatemala that he acquired it as a nickname.
Don't say: "If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine, man."
