Pablo, a young peasant labourer, begins the sugar harvest of 1957 as a mentally and physically abused character on the farm where he works in Bayamo, Cuba. Running away to join the Revolution's cause, Pablo finds Castro's men, and becomes an aide to Che Guevara. But Guevara's mind is warped and degenerated. The question Pablo comes to face is to what degree he too is willing to sell his soul to achieve the goals of supposed freedom and equality.
Paul Mc Mahon is an Irish librarian. ‘The Shadow of Guevara’ is his first novel. He has travelled to both Cuba and Peru, carrying out extensive research for his books. Although critical of revolutionary violence, he agrees that the indigenous tribes of the Americas have been marginalised. Having also studied the Aztecs, Paul is currently completing another historical fiction novel based on the conquest of Mexico.
