Che, My Brother
On 9 October 1967, Ernesto Che Guevara, Marxist guerrilla leader and hero of the Cuban Revolution, was captured and executed by Bolivian forces. When the Guevara family learned from the front pages that Che was dead, they decided to say nothing. Fifty years on, his younger brother, Juan Martin, breaks the silence to narrate his intimate memories and share with us his views of the character behind one of history's most iconic figures. Juan Martin brings Che back to life, as a caring and protective older brother. Alongside the many practical jokes and escapades they undertook together, Juan Martin also relates the two extraordinary months he spent with the Comandante in 1959, in Havana, at the...
Shadow of a Myth
Shadow of a Myth is the story of Martin Guevara, the nephew of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. On Martin's tenth birthday, he and his family took a trip that in reality was an emigration from their native Argentina to Cuba. His father, Juan Martin Guevara, was Ernesto's youngest brother and aspired to emulate his older brother ("el Che"). Che in the years since his death in Bolivia had become a bigger-than-life character, with a reputation of myth-like proportions on the island and in the world. On arrival in Cuba, it became Martin's mandate to become like his uncle Che. This is the story of Martin and of the family into which he was born and lived, and of his years of struggle coming of age in Fidel's Cuba.
Mon frère le Che
"Etre le frère du Che ne peut pas être anodin. Mais il fallait bien qu'il soit le frère de quelqu'un. Il se trouve que c'est tombé sur moi. Pendant longtemps, je n'ai été que Juan Martin Guevara, puis je suis devenu le frère d'Ernesto Guevara. Et ensuite, celui d'une légende, le Che." Quand les Guevara apprirent la mort du Che, à la une des journaux, ils décidèrent de garder le silence. Cinquante ans plus tard, il est temps pour son frère cadet, Juan Martin, de partager ses souvenirs, de dévoiler qui était le Che dans l'intimité. Juan Martin fait revivre ainsi ce frère aîné attentif et protecteur, complice des canulars et des escapades. Il raconte les deux mois extraordinaires qu'il a passés à La Havane aux côtés du Comandante, en 1959, au coeur de la révolution cubaine. Il se souvient de l'aventurier idéaliste qu'il a adulé, de l'intellectuel engagé dont les parents, excentriques, cultivés et bohèmes, mais aussi les frères et soeurs, ont participé à l'éveil politique. Dans ce récit autobiographique, Juan Martin Guevara oeuvre enfin pour que les valeurs du Che deviennent une source d'inspiration pour les plus jeunes.
O meu irmão Che
«Ernesto era um homem. É preciso tirá-lo do seu pedestal e devolver a vida a essa estátua de bronze, para perpetuar a sua mensagem. Che teria detestado o estatuto de ídolo.» Quando a família soube da morte de Che Guevara pela imprensa, resolveu guardar silêncio. Cinquenta anos depois, o seu irmão mais novo, Juan Martín, decidiu partilhar as suas recordações e revelar quem era Che na intimidade. Fala-nos de Ernesto, aquele irmão mais velho e protector, cúmplice nos segredos e nas aventuras infantis; das suas viagens, dos estudos, dos primeiros amores... do aventureiro idealista, do intelectual comprometido e do guerrilheiro em que se transformou; dos meses extraordinários que p...

Můj bratr Che
Dne 9. října 1967 byl ve vesničce La Higuera bolivijskými jednotkami zavražděn marxistický partyzánský vůdce a hrdina kubánské revoluce Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Když se z novinových stránek jeho rodina dozvěděla o jeho smrti, rozhodla se, že už o něm nikdy veřejně nepromluví. Půl století poté ale jeho nejmladší bratr, Juan Martin, mlčení prolomil. Tato unikátní autobiografie, již uvazuje předmluva profesora Josefa Opatrného, přináší čtenářům vůbec poprvé důvěrný pohled na asi největší ikonu světového revolučního hnutí.Autor vedle vzpomínek na staršího bratra, rodinné zázemí Guevarů a příhody, jež spolu zažili, přibližuje rovněž elektrizující atmosféru revoluční Kuby v době kubánské revoluce, kdy bezprostředně po vítězství Castrových barbudos v roce 1959 celá rodina strávila několik měsíců na ostrově po boku již legendárního El Che.
Il Che, mio fratello
A cinquant’anni dalla morte del “Che”, Juan Martín Guevara ha trovato il coraggio di togliere dal piedistallo il fratello maggiore per restituirci il volto umano del mito dilagato nel mondo dopo il suo tragico assassinio in Bolivia il 9 ottobre 1967.Per riconciliarsi con un fratello adorato ma ingombrante, Juan Martín riannoda il filo dei ricordi e ci presenta il “Che” più intimo, assolutamente inedito, colui che Ernesto Guevara de la Serna è stato prima di diventare una leggenda: il bambino-adolescente che divora libri e gioca a rugby, il ragazzo tenero e cocciuto, lo studente di medicina che si laurea a tempo di record, il giovane timido e audace con la vocazione al comando, ...

Exposing the Real Che Guevara
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?
