2009ill., ril. Il 31 agosto del '67 la retroguardia della guerriglia del Che Guevara in Bolivia cade in un'imboscata tesa dall'esercito di Barrientos e i nove guerriglieri che la compongono vengono assassinati. Tra di loro una giovane donna, Tamara Bunke, pseudonimo Tania. Per soffocare l'ondata di commozione suscitata dalla sua morte gli uffici di propaganda della CIA scatenarono una campagna di calunnie. Questo libro, attraverso testimonianze, ricordi, documenti originali e rapporti riservati, confuta calunnie e mistificazioni e ricostruisce la vita di questa singolare figura di donna, coerente con i suoi ideali di libertà e giustizia sociale, rigorosa nei principi, tenace nella volontà, generosa ed altruista nei rapporti umani, tenera nei suoi affetti.

1880ref. COL-3611880. Albumen prints 8. This rare group of photographs showing both rural and city Bolivian life was originally part of the Gardner Collection of photographs at Harvard University. In her article 'The Gardner Collection of Photographs' History of Photography Vol. 15 No. 1 Spring 1991 pp. 17-22 Heather Ross Munro articulates the formation and dissemination of the Gardner collection a substantial group of photos housed in the Geology Department of Harvard University that was initially funded in 1892 by Harvard graduate George Gardner. By 1916 the collection reached around 7500 landscape and geological photographs from around the world including a number of mammoth plate views by Carleton Watkins. But by the 1960s slides illustrated textbooks and field work supplanted the need for the collection. In 1962 the archive was offered to the George Eastman House in Rochester NY who selected 350 photos. Harvard kept around 1000 themselves mostly Massachusetts scenes and discarded the rest. This present group was acquired by the previous owner while studying as a geology student at Harvard in the 60s. He had been informed that the collection was getting tossed and saved what he could choosing these photographs because he "preferred the ones with people." .
