About the Book

It was the early 1960s. The Cold War was at its peak. The threat of nuclear war hung over the world. Communist Cuba lurked a mere 90 miles off the coast of Florida, and President John F. Kennedy and his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, undertook a covert campaign to eliminate Fidel Castro and the communist threat. This book details the clandestine warfare that took place between Cuba and the United States-the spies and saboteurs, the guerrillas, the murder plots, and the kidnappings-and sheds new light on how, after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, the Kennedy brothers stepped up their covert, sometimes illegal efforts to oust Castro. Revealing new information based on first-hand interviews with participants from the FBI and CIA, historian William Breuer paints a fascinating picture of this highly charged period in our history.
