Quotes by Humberto Fontova (?)

“Che abandoned his first wife, Hilda, a Peruvian woman of Indian extraction, for a taller, blonder trophy wife (also named Aleida). Their 1959 wedding in Havana was the social event of the year and featured Raul Castro as "best man." After he married Aleida, Che would continue to "upgrade" his women, taking the worldly Tamara "Tania" Bunke, born of German parents in Argentina, as his mistress.”
― Humberto Fontova, Exposing the Real Che Guevara: And the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him
