I liked the detail. However, it would seem that the author has not sought out sufficient sources and readily and far too fully accepts the Che's accounts of the actions. Thus, the Che's machinations and betrayals of fellow rebels are ignored. Minor rebel figures such as Rene Cuervo and the Mexican are not given credit, the contributions of escopeteros and the urban fighters are not really acknowledged. Contributions of major figures such as Huber Matos are apparently minimized. The Che's withdrawal and abandonment to his death of René Ramos Latour is omitted. The effect of communist betrayal on non communist members of M-26-7 and other anti-Batista organizations are not taken into account. It would have been a far more interesting, but less flattering book if the Che's devious and ruthless plots to reach power and remove rivals were clearly pointed out.
