Guevara's journey took him across continents, fighting in revolutionary movements throughout Latin America. His notable involvement in the Cuban Revolution alongside Fidel Castro solidified his status as a legendary figure. But what lies beneath this carefully crafted heroic image?

The Dark Side of Che Guevara

While Che Guevara is revered by many as a symbol of anti-imperialism and social justice, it is essential to examine the darker aspects of his life and ideology. Che was a staunch believer in the revolutionary use of violence, openly advocating for the execution of perceived enemies of the state. His role as the head of La Cabaña prison, where countless dissidents were executed without due process, raises serious questions about his commitment to human rights.

Furthermore, Guevara's desire for a classless society often clashed with individual freedoms. He saw the suppression of individual rights as a necessary sacrifice in the pursuit of societal equality. This disregard for personal liberties raises concerns about his commitment to democracy and the well-being of the people he claimed to fight for.

The Cult of Che

One cannot underestimate the impact of Che Guevara's image on popular culture. His face has been adopted as a symbol of rebellion and defiance, often divorced from the reality of his actions. The commodification of his image has diluted the historical context and transformed him into a marketable brand.

But why has Che Guevara become such an enduring icon? Perhaps it is the allure of revolution, the romanticized notions of fighting against injustice and oppression. Or maybe it is the simplicity of the image itself – a face reduced to black, white, and red, devoid of any individuality or complexity.

Separating Myth from Reality

In order to understand Che Guevara fully, it is crucial to examine both his accomplishments and his flaws. While he undoubtedly played a significant role in revolutionary movements and inspired countless individuals, his methods and disregard for human rights cannot be ignored or justified.

By delving into the complexities of Che Guevara's life and ideology, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the man behind the myth. It is essential to approach historical figures with a critical lens, separating the romanticized images from the harsh realities.

Che Guevara remains a contentious figure, admired by some and reviled by others. Exposing the real Che Guevara goes beyond the celebrated image, revealing a complex and deeply flawed individual. The story of Guevara serves as a reminder that history is seldom black and white, and heroes often have feet of clay.

A debunking of liberal myths about one of the most bloodthirsty icons of the twentieth century.

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 only increased after a new biopic was released, 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?
