Summary

"The Rout of U.S.-organized and -financed forces at Girón Beach on Cuba's Bay of Pigs in April 1961 was Washington's greatest military defeat in the Americas. It has marked the course of history for the last fifty years ... is a fast-moving narrative by an author who at the time was a young literacy teacher in the zone where the battle was fought. Painstakingly researched, without caricatures and oversimplifications, it offers one of the fullest accounts yet written. It will satisfy the most demanding of readers, as well as those simply curious to learn the story of the this momentous event."--Back cover.
