Yes many Cubans were Executed under Che, they were supporters of the Batista Regime. I thought it was a fair and balanced documentary. Coming from the History channel, I have it on DVD.


This documentary talks about the executions as well. It is split into parts on youtube.

The innocent Cubans you indicated were most likely supporters of the Batista Regime.

I do not agree with them being killed, unless they actually killed or harmed a Revolutionary. Then I suppose a Guerilla like Che or Castro would think it best to have them eliminated.

I dunno, I don't study much Cuba and Che topics, though I know a basic outline of his life and acts. I'm much more into theory and how to put things in place rather than history and actual individuals.

There are a lot of threads in the Che forum addressing this very issue.

I saw that documentary on the History channel and it says Che wanted to start WW III. Jon Lee Anderson, che's unofficial biographer confirms this nonsense.

Its propaganda against Che and Communism...

90% of the docu highlights negative sides of che, the revolution and communism...
I know a lot those things are true but they dont tell much about the good things he did...

True story of Che yeah right!

I'm sure this docu is made by proamericans cause the world leaders are getting more and more afraid of communism... and they want to discourage 'young' people to believe in communism.
