Anyone know of any good biographies?

>> No.6181355

"Good-bye to all That", autobiography of Robert Graves ("I, Claudius", etc).

it only covers about 2/3rds of his life, and doesn't explain why he fled to Majorca, but it does describe his involvement in the first world war in all its gory, futile splendor.

Jon Lee Anderson's Che. If you want to see Guevara as a complex human bean like everyone else instead of a saint or evil incarnate, while learning some pretty interesting details about the Cold War, look no further.
