Critics Review
“This is the real story—extremely well told—of the unraveling of a guerrilla force and the patient and heroic team work of the men who brought down the iconic myth.“—Enrique Encinosa, author of Unvanquished: Cuba’s Resistance to Fidel Castro
“Weiss and Maurer have done it again…With memorable characters, rich detail and a fast-moving narrative, they bring us deep into the Bolivian jungle - and into a riveting story you will not want to miss.“ —
Ames Alexander, award-winning investigative reporter with the Charlotte Observer“Hunting Che provides a powerful portrait of an iconic revolutionary who fell prey to his own ego and passions and a US blacks ops team hellbent on his capture – and death.“—
Michael Sallah, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Washington Post“Veteran journalists Mitch Weiss and Kevin Maurer have tag-teamed on another nail-biter…They shed light on an important—largely misunderstood—operation with fairness, objectivity, and candor.”—Tom Henry, Toledo-based writer and book reviewer
