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?
