Product Description
Forty years after the Bay of Pigs invasion, five Cuban-American veterans return to Havana to attend a conference on the invasion. It was the first time these men had set foot on Cuban soil since their release from Castro's prisons in 1963. A long list of notables traveled with them: including Arthur Schlesinger Jr.; Richard Goodwin; and JFKs sister, Jean Kennedy Smith. Appropriate counterparts on the Cuban side were expected to attend, but whether Castro himself would show up was never assured and remained a mystery till the opening session. When he did finally show up, he sat directly across from the ex-CIA operative, Sam Halpern, who ran John F. Kennedy's Operation Mongoose, the objective of which was to assassinate Fidel Castro. Another high point occurred the afternoon Castro and Alfredo Duran - one of the Cuban-American invaders - shared a microphone and joke with one another about the ancient wounds.
