JULY 5, 1997: Che Guevara biographer, Jon Lee Anderson, reports for the New York Times that although the remains have not been exhumed and definitely identified, two experts are "100 percent sure" that they have discovered Che’s remains in Vallegrande. The fact that one of the skeletons is missing both of its hands is cited as the most compelling evidence.

Biography: Che Guevara This is the recent A&E: Biographyon the life of Che Guevara, running 50 minutes in length. As with the other tapes in this series, this is a very high quality biography; with excellent research, interviews, news footage, and even some rare home movie footage. It explores Guevara's guerilla campaigns, his writings, speeches, and his missions into Africa and Bolivia, where he would ultimately be captured and executed at the age of 39.

What does Guevara`s memory offer the world today? Perhaps primarily his personal example, his Arthurian qualities, that remarkable determination to struggle and sacrifice for a set of beliefs. In an age when license and personal advantage continually dominate other considerations in private and public life, Guevara`s disdain for any reward but the victory of his ideals, his insistence upon discipline, especially for himself, his obliviousness to discomfort and danger in the pursuit of what he believed to be right surely be inspiring regardless of how one evaluates the philosophy that impelled him. (out of: The Fall of Che Guevara, Henry Butterfield Ryan, New York, Oxford University Press, 1998)

On the eve of his trip to New York, Che gave a speech in Santiago Cuba where he declared: "We must learn the lesson of absolute abhorrence of imperialism. Against that class of hyena there is no other medium than extermination!" [28]
