 | The Kennedys & Cuba by Mark J. White
in documents drawn from the State Department, the Kennedy Library, private papers, and the Assassination Records Review Board, and including newly released materials, Mark White traces the attitudes and actions of John and Robert Kennedy in their fateful dealings with Fidel Castro's Cuba. In his selection and commentary, Mr. White has constructed a virtual narrative which allows the reader to see, through the documents, how the story developed to the Bay of Pigs, the missile crisis, and beyond. It becomes clear that the Kennedys' fervent desire was to oust Castro by any means possible short of all-out war. Yet in JFK's last days, as Mr. White reveals, the United States signaled some movement toward rapprochement. This revised edition of The Kennedys and Cuba includes source notes for each of the documents. AUTHOR: Mark J. White
