I'm to lazy to Source this, but I got it from this book, and the author has everything sourced.

Here's a good article by the same writer: http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/2/23/171252.shtml

I strongly recommend this book:

Fontova learned firsthand what kind of person Guevara was.

He did some good things in his life, I won't lie. Early on he seemed to be a kind and caring individual, as well as being very intelligent. On his motorcycle journeys he witnessed things that later led him to fight for a "revolution", and his heart was initially in the right place, feeling sympathetic to people he'd seen being crushed or oppressed, however his judgment of what caused much of this suffering, and his response to it, was misguided and based largely on ignorance. And rather quickly his actions picked up momentum and his focus and intentions became egotistical, self centered, violent, and merciless. It was no longer about helping the oppressed, but about oppressing and controlling.

There are actually a lot of books out there about who Che Guevara really was, that pick through all the Hollywood lies and glamorization, and expose him for his true brutal self. Interestingly and tellingly, many of these books and accounts are written by Cubans. He is widely despised all across Latin America, and for good reason. It's mostly only in America, in the land of ignorant, suburban white folks with little understanding of hardship but a great hard on for misrepresented countercultural icons, that he is idolized. The ironic thing is that every person who has ever worn a Che Guevara shirt, a standard, naive, counter-cultural fellow with remotely idealistic views or desire for freedom in any form - these people would have been the kind of people Che rounded up and had murdered. These people were the enemy to Che and his revolution. Che systematically crushed all dissent, murdering anyone challenging the law or his power, or wanting anything resembling freedom.

Either Che Guevara torturing people is the single biggest fallacy propagated in all of history, or there is some fire around that smoke.

And while I haven't read them, there are entire books out there that are supposedly chock full of first hand accounts and deep research exposing Che for who he really is.

Have you simply ignored these books? Or do you have reason to believe that you have not only "out-researched" the authors, but that the authors are actually making things up?
