In 1960; Cuban photographer Alberto Korda captured fabled revolutionary Ernesto ldquo;Cherdquo; Guevara in what has become historys most reproduced photo. Here Michael Casey tells the remarkable story of this image; detailing its evolution from a casual snapshot to an omnipresent graphicmdash;plastered on everything from T-shirts to vodka to condomsmdash;and into a copyrighted brand. As Casey follows it across the Americas and through cyberspace; he finds governments exploiting it and their dissenters attacking it; merchants selling it and tourists buying it. We see how this image is; ultimately; a mercurial icon that still ignites passionmdash;and a reflection of how we view ourselves.
