Book Reviews of Exposing the Real Che Guevara: And the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him
Book Review: Required reading for all people who value human rights
Summary: 5 Stars
For college, I have done extensive research into Cuba's history, Fidel Castro, Ernesto (Che) Guevara, the Cuban Criminal Code, and how it all relates to the largest human rights violation that only Stalin can remotely come close to. I have read many of the sources that Humberto Fontova refers to and I can attest that his book is highly researched and accurate.
This book should be required reading for all college students. It is a gripping documentary on the truth of communism, Stalinism, Marxism, and socialism and the logical place that takes you. My professors say, "take an idea and push the accelerator down on it and see where that takes you." It usually takes you into the world of unintended consequences. BEWARE the creep of socialism in the United States as it is a direct bee line to communism and major human rights violations.
This book should be required for two main reasons. First, it gives you a very good understanding of the truth behind the Cuban "revolution" and Che Guevara, which is so extensively misunderstood amongst the intelligentsia. Second, you learn where all these misconceptions came from and how Cubans gave up their rights in increments which allowed Fidel Castro to come to power.
If you are serious about understanding this topic, you must also read Armando Valladares "Against All Hope". It's another fascinating book you cannot put down. Armando does an extraordinary job of telling it like it is regarding the hearts, minds, real suffering, extensive atrocities, and human rights violations that the Castro regime has done and continues to do.
Another mandatory read book on this topic is the 1999 Human Rights Watch report called "Cuba's Repressive Machinery". You will find your mind blown by the details and analysis in this book. Hats off to researcher Sarah A. DeCosse for her work. It is truly a comprehensive work. You can find this online, but I recommend you get it in book form to mark up with notes as you read. WOW
Summary of Exposing the Real Che Guevara: And the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him
The perfect conservative contrast to the upcoming movie about Che.Hollywood, Madison Avenue, and the mainstream media celebrate Ernesto ?Che? Guevara as a saint, a sex symbol, and a selfless martyr. But their ideas about Che ? whose face adorns countless T-shirts and posters ? are based on the lies of Fidel Castro?s murderous dictatorship.
Che?s hipster fans are classic ?useful idiots,? the name Stalin gave to foolish Westerners who parroted his lies about communism. And their numbers will only increase after a new biopic is released this fall, starring Benicio Del Toro.
But as Humberto Fontova reveals in this myth-shattering book, Che was actually a bloodthirsty executioner, a military bumbler, a coward, and a hypocrite. In fact, Che can be called the godfather of modern terrorism.
Fontova reveals:
? How he longed to destroy New York City with nuclear missiles.
? How he persecuted gays, blacks, and religious people.
? How he loved material wealth and private luxuries, despite his image as an ascetic.
Are Che fans like Angelina Jolie, Jesse Jackson, Carlos Santana, and Johnny Depp too ignorant to realize they?ve been duped? Or too anti-American to care?
