9 Ernesto " Che " Guevara became the most recognizable  face of guerrilla warfare and revolution of the 20th  century after first serving alongside Fidel Castro as  one of the leaders of the Cuban Revolution. His death  promoted him to mythical status among students  and radical youth worldwide, particularly in Cuba and  his homeland of Argentina.  His picture appears on t-shirts, flags, and memorabilia commemorated his contribution to modern revolution. Detested by all those who worship freedom and worshiped by those detest oppression. Double standard or not, Che Guevara is the face of revolution and that shall be his legacy.
