Castro's Secrets: Cuban Intelligence, the CIA, and the Assassination of John F. Kennedy

"A conclusive, ground-breaking portrait, based on firsthand sources, of how the Cuban strongman . . . ran circles around the CIA." —Daily Beast

In Castro's Secrets, intelligence analyst and Cuba expert Brian Latell offers an unprecedented view of Fidel Castro in his role as Cuba's supreme spymaster. Based on interviews with high level defectors from Cuba's intelligence and security services—including some who have never spoken on record before—Latell reveals long-buried secrets of Fidel's nearly 50-year reign.

While the CIA grossly underestimated his capabilities, Castro built one of the best and most aggressive intelligence systems in the world. Their sophisticated network ran moles and double agents who penetrated the highest levels of American Institutions. They also carried out numerous assassinations—some against foreign leaders.

Latell also sheds new light on the CIA's deplorable plots against Cuba—including previously obscure schemes to assassinate Castro—and presents shocking new conclusions about what Fidel actually knew of Lee Harvey Oswald prior to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
