Bay of Pigs: CIA’s Cuban Disaster, April 1961 by Phil Carradice (English) Paperb

By Phil Carradice. Badly planned, badly organised, the affair was littered with mistakes from start to finish – not least with an inept performance by John F Kennedy and his new administration. When things began to go wrong with the landings at Playa Larga and Playa Giron on the southern coast of Cuba President Kennedy and his advisers began overruling military decisions with the result that the invading Brigade 2506 – made up of Cuban exiles – was left with little or no air cover, limited ammunition and no easy escape.
