The Cuba Project: Castro, Kennedy, Dirty Business, Double Dealing, and The FBI's Tamale Squad - Hardcover

A sexy, shoot-em-up telling of the CIA and FBI’s attempts to take control of Castro's Cuba before and during the Kennedy administration. Pavia’s colorful account reveals corruption and high-stakes mismanagement on the part of U.S. intelligence and high-level officials. The story features a bold cast of characters--casino owners, American expats such as actor Errol Flynn and mob boss Santos Trafficante, a covert band of ex-cons dubbed the "Donut Army" commissioned to invade Cuba, and countless American agents whose job it was to keep a lid on the tinderbox of Castro's Cuba and Cuban Miami. The book is based on extensive interviews with retired members of the squad who lived and breathed "The Cuba Project."
