Che Guevara's Execution Without Trial - October 9, 1969
from The Daily History Chronicle Hosted by Richard G Backus
On October 9, 1967, Bolivian soldiers executed Che Guevara without a trial, on the order of a government that feared what he might say if he lived. The declassified record shows a CIA agent who wanted him alive, a Bolivian high command that wanted him dead, and a revolutionary who had once sent hundreds of men to their own deaths without the process he was denied. This episode holds all three realities at once, and traces how a killing meant to end an idea instead made it permanent.
