:: I am not asking for admiration of Che, nor am I commenting on what kind of person he was, or even how the author spoke of him, as that is an entirely different topic. I am just looking for historical accuracy for the name "Cuban Revolution". A communist revolution is still classified as a revolution no matter what we may think of those who instigated it or their governing philosophy, or what the results of that historical moment brought. If people want to think of it as robbery, that's fine, I just don't believe calling it Cuban "Rob"olution reflects the quality one would strive for in an opening paragraph of an encyclopedic article, it is not even a real word. -- [[User:BMcP|BMcP]] 17:48, 23 June 2009 (EDT)

==Medical Degree==
''"He flunked out of medical school, never got his diploma, and still was chosen to be the medic for Fidel Castro's so called 'revolution'."''
Is there a specific citation available for that statement? It is directly contradicted by Jon Lee Anderson's ''Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life'', which states, ''"In June, Ernesto obtained a copy of his doctor’s degree, and a few days later he celebrated his twenty-fifth birthday. With his title in hand and duly legalized, he was now a bona fide doctor."'' While I do recall Fontova being critical of Anderson's work on the topic, is there a specific denial of this claim or a presentation of a contrary account in his own book?
