Castro’s Secrets: The CIA and Cuba’s Intelligence Machine

In CASTROS SECRETS highly acclaimed author and intelligence expert Brian Latell offers a strikingly original view of Fidel Castro in his role as Cubas supreme spymaster. Based on interviews with high level defectors from Cubas powerful intelligence and security services long-buried secrets of Fidels nearly 50-year reign are exposed for the first time. They include numerous assassinations and attempted ones carried out on Castros orders some against foreign leaders. More than a dozen ranking Cuban secret agents embraced by the CIA and FBI speak in these pages; some have never told their stories on the record before. Latell also probes dispassionately into the CIAs most 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.
