Exposing the Real Che Guevara: And the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him

A critical biography of the iconic communist revolutionary, and an expose of the liberals who lionize him. Nearly four decades after his death, it�s impossible to avoid the image of Ernesto �Che� Guevara everywhere from T-shirts to cartoons. Liberals consider Che a revolutionary martyr who gave his life to help the poor of Latin America. Time named him one of the one hundred most influential people of the last century. And a major Hollywood movie is about to lionize him to a new generation. The reality, as we learn from Cuban exile Humberto Fontova, is that Che wasn�t really a gentle soul and a selfless hero. He was a violent Communist who thought nothing of firing a gun into the stomach of a woman six months pregnant whose only crime was that her family opposed him. And he was a hypocrite who lusted after material luxuries while cultivating his image as a man of the people. Fontova reveals that Che openly talked about his desire to use nuclear weapons against New York City. Such was Che�s bloodthirsty hatred that Fontova considers him the godfather of modern terrorism. Exposing the Real Che Guevara is based on scores of interviews with survivors of Che�s atrocities as well as the American CIA agent who interrogated Che just hours before the Bolivian government executed him.
