The Loves of Che Guevara

I read a book around two months ago about Che Guevara and learned that he actually got married twice and that he had children! I thought he was single all throughout his career as a revolutionary. The first girl, Hilda Gadea i guess was instrumental in introducing Che with radical thoughts during their stay in Guatemala. She was an organizer and a Peruvian exile due to her progressive activities that put her into trouble when the pro-people president was removed from office by a fascist leader.

But their relationship, according to the book (i forgot the title), was more on the realm of politics with Hilda Gadea's polemics on Marx, Lenin, and Latin American Revolution mesmerizing Che Guevara to fall for her.

Guevara however decided to separate from Gadea through a letter (because Hilda was in Peru) because of, i don't know, maybe due to the distance and the separation that took place when Che decided to join Fidel Castro in that historic Granma expedition. They had one child who died in 1995. the book surmised that Che was only attracted to Hilda Gadea because of her determined attitude to pursue whatever goals she set her mind on, and for this matter, it was Che Guevara and her radical ideas. He even asked Hilda and Hildita, their daughter, to stay with him in Cuba after the victory but i do not know the reason of their falling out (because i do not remember all the details of the book and it has been two months since i read it).

Anyway, maybe because he fell in love with another girl during the course of the revolution to topple the Batista Dictatorship. The lady named Aleida March who worked as his secretary and also his compañera became his second wife. They had 4 children and one of them continues to pursue the ideals of Che Guevara as a doctor in Cuba and all the oppressed people in the world!
