Honestly one of my favorite biographies that I've ever read.

http://www.amazon.com/Che-Guevara-A-Revolutionary-Life/dp/B004H8GMEY.

This book felt well researched and had the tone you suggest.

Review of this book and motorcylcle diaries. http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/53522/kenneth-maxwell/che-guevara-a-revolutionary-life-companero-the-life-and-death-of...loved this sentence from a the review "a young man like many of his epoch moved by a grandly romanticized and burning desire to change the world, but unlike many others one who actually did something about it." Che was in many ways problematic and violent, but this is the aspect that is cool about his life.

Che himself, murdered around 10-30 people, with one of them being an alleged 12-14 year old boy as claimed by a person who "claimed" to be there, which isn't that reliable of source for him personally shoting the young boy, however, there are plenty of sources for all the other murders. http://www.amazon.com/Che-Guevara-A-Revolutionary-Life/dp/B004H8GMEY is an 800 page biography about Che and it distinctly references some of the murders personally comitted by Che in there. Other than that, by order of execution, Che's men murdered hundreds of people, you can find many sources about that around too, I would, but I'm on a phone currently so you'll have to dig further. In addition to shooting alleged civilians, Che also shot men among his own ranks if they tried to leave in addtion to other acts he found intolerable. I would have to dig up the sources used in my Latin America Tradition/History course I took a while back to provide you with more information.
