JFK: The Cuba Files by Fabián Escalante

$16.95

The Untold Story of the Plot to Kill Kennedy

These Cuban files add new pieces to the puzzle and give us a clearer picture of what really happened. —Oliver Stone (Director of "JFK")

Amid continuing speculation over Cuban involvement in the most famous political crime of the 20th century, this book reveals for the first time Cuba's own report into the Kennedy assassination. With compelling logic, Fabián Escalante describes the conspiracy uncovered by Cuba's investigation, which reviewed declassified US files and reports from Cuban intelligence units that had infiltrated anti-Castro groups in Miami. This anti-Kennedy conspiracy brought together three groups that violently opposed the Cuban revolution — the Cuban exiles, the Mafia, and the CIA — who all felt betrayed by the Bay of Pigs debacle and Kennedy's apparent moves toward a rapprochement with Fidel Castro.

By assassinating President Kennedy and presenting the crime as a Cuba-inspired plot, they hoped to remove an obstacle to their plans and to provide a pretext for decisive military action against Cuba.

Fabián Escalante, former head of Cuban counterintelligence, is regarded internationally as a leading authority on U.S. covert operations against Cuba and assassination plots against Fidel Castro. In his introduction he remembers his compañeros that gave their lives in defense of Cuba and remarks that the vigilance of Cuba in defense of her sovereignty continues. An example is that of Gerardo, Antonio, Fernando, René and Ramón, the Cuban Five, who, from U.S. jails, are continuing the struggle against the state terrorism to which Cuba has been subjected for more than four decades.
