Synopsis

In 1959, the US-supported Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista was overthrown by Fidel Castro, who quickly allied himself with the Soviet Union and established a dictatorship of his own. Under the Eisenhower Administration, the CIA made plans to secretly organize an invasion of Cuban exiles to remove Castro. When President Kennedy took office, the invasion plans continued. But when the operation went into effect in 1961 and the Cuban troops landed at the Bay of Pigs, they failed, provoking political and military embarrassment for the US. In 1979, the CIA authorized a two-volume official history of the Bay of Pigs operation, utilizing all the available classified information. It became the CIA's argument for absolving itself of blame for the failure. This book contains the entire two-volume study, now declassified. Illustrated.
