A critical biography of the iconic communist revolutionary, and an expose of the liberals who lionize him.

Nearly four decades after his death, its 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.Timenamed 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 wasnt 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 Ches bloodthirsty hatred that Fontova considers him the godfather of modern terrorism.

Exposing the Real Che Guevarais based on scores of interviews with survivors of Ches atrocities as well as the American CIA agent who interrogated Che just hours before the Bolivian government executed him.

PREFACE

These Cubans seem to not have slept a wink since they grabbed their assets and headed for Florida, Michael Moore writes in his book Downsize This!

Some Cubans certainly grabbed assets, but not those who headed for Florida. Michael Moore might have profited from witnessing the scenes at Havanas Rancho Boyeros airport in 1961 as tens of thousands of Cubans headed for Florida and assets were grabbed.

My eight-year-old sister Patricia, my five-year-old brother, Ricky, and this writer, then seven years old, watched as a scowling miliciana jerked my mothers earrings from her ears. These belong to La Revolucin ! the woman snapped, and then turned toward my sister. That, too! and she reached for the little crucifix around Patricias neck, pulling it roughly over her head. My mother, Esther, winced and glowered, but shed been lining up the paperwork for our flight to freedom for a year. She wasnt about to botch it now.

For millions of Cubans, being able to leave your homeland utterly penniless and with the clothes on your back for an uncertain future in a foreign country was (and is today) considered the equivalent of winning the lottery. My mother, a college professor, bore the minor larceny stoically. My father, standing beside her, had just emptied his pockets for another guard as his face hardened. Humberto Senior was an architect. That look (we knew so well) of an imminent eruption was manifesting. Suddenly, uniformed men surrounded Humberto. Seor, youre coming with us.

To where? my mother gasped.

You! Keep your mouth shut! snapped the miliciana. And Humberto was dragged off. Then were not leaving! said my mother as she tried to follow him. If you cant leave, were not leaving! She started to choke up.

My father stopped and turned around as the men grabbed his arms. You are leaving, he said. Whatever happens to meI dont want you and the children growing up in a communist country! It would be a few weeks before Castro admitted he was a Marxist-Leninist. At the word communist, my fathers police escort bristled and jerked him forward.

Were not leaving! yelled my mother.

You are! yelled my father over his shoulder as he disappeared through the doors. As the doors snapped shut my mom finally broke down. Her shoulders heaved and her hands rose to wipe the tears, but her arms were promptly pulled down by the white-knuckled clutches of her terrified childrens little hands. So again my mom composed herself.

Papi will be out in a minute, she smiled at us while wiping the tears. He forgot to sign some papers.

Two hours later everyone was lining to board the flight for Miami. But Papi had not emerged from those doors. The agonized look returned to mothers face. It was time for a decision. Cubas prisons were filled to suffocation at the time. Firing squads were working triple shifts. But her husband had made himself very clear.

Lets go! she stood and blurted. Come on, kids. Time to go on our trip! Papi will meet us later... she gasped and her shoulders started heaving again. Her childrens white-knuckled clutches returned to her hands, and we joined that heartsick procession to the big plane, a Lockheed Constellation.

Seeing the big plane, climbing aboard, and hearing the engines crank up excited me, and for a few minutes I forgot about my dad.

Volveremos! yelled a man a few seats in front of us. Others picked up the cry. Doug MacArthurs famous I shall return had been picked up by Cubans, but in the plural. South Florida was alive with exile paramilitary groups, and no one expected that during the height of the Cold War the United States would acquiesce in a Soviet client state ninety miles from its border. The man who started the chant fully expected to be back soon, carbine in hand.

But it was mostly women and children who filled that huge plane, and soon their gasps, sniffles, and sobs were competing with the shouts and the engine noise.

We landed in Miami and somehow found our way to a cousins little apartment. These relatives had left a few months earlier. From their crowded little kitchen Mom quickly dialed the operator for a call to our grandmother, still in Cuba. The connection went through and she immediately asked about my father. There was a light pause. She frowned, and then she dropped the receiver and fell to the floor.

Her frightened children got to her first. Qu pasa! Patricia wailed. Our mother was not moving. While one aunt took her in her arms, another picked up the phone, raised it to hear, and somehow made herself heard over the din in that kitchen. Aunt Nena was nodding with the phone pressed to her ear. Ayy no! she finally shrieked.

My mother had fainted. Aunt Nena came close when she heard the same thing over the phone. Our father was a prisoner at El G-2 in Havana. This was the headquarters for the military police. Prisoners went to El G-2 for questioning. From there most went to the La Cabana prison-fortress for revolutionary justice. But many did not survive the questioning. The Cuba Archive Project has documented hundreds of deaths at G-2 stations. This was a process that the Left is willing to call by its proper namedeath squadsanywhere else in Latin America but Cuba.
