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

Book Review: Ideologic propaganda against the regime...
Summary: 1 Stars

If you hate Cuba and feel sick hearing about communism, then you will probably love this book... but if you are looking for something that brings multiple sides of a complex history, trying to rise a deeper understanding of Che Guevara, that's definetily not the best option available. This is a one-sided, one-eye-blind written propaganda. The main and only source for this book's facts and analysis were anti-regime cubans exiled in U.S. You don't do this if you want to at least have a more complete perspective of who Che Guevara really was, even if you don't agree with his political views and actions. Every story has more than one side, and this book barely tells one...

Summary of 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.
