Deadly Secrets: The CIA-Mafia War against Castro and the Assassination of JFK

It was a devastating war that spanned three decades, entailed huge paramilitary operations, involved superspies, contraband, & billionaires, contributed to the downfall of two presidents-and it was all "TOP SECRET." The CIA's secret war against Fidel Castro linked the Bay of Pigs invasion to the Mafia, the murder of John F. Kennedy, & such covert activities as Watergate & the Iran-Contra Affair. The violent, & yet oddly comic, narrative of this war entangles JFK; Lyndon Johnson; George Bush; Ian Fleming; Howard Hughes, who racked up $6 billion in contracts for clandestine war hardware; Time-Life publisher Henry Luce, who funded his own private campaign against Castro; E. Howard Hunt, who, years before breaking into the Watergate Hotel, was writing cheap spy thrillers & living them; Johnny Roselli, the mafioso recruited by Howard Hughes' publicist & CIA operative Robert Maheu to assassinate Castro; & Texas oilman H. L. Hunt, who some believe financed the assassination of President Kennedy. Originally published as The Fish Is Red, Deadly Secrets has been totally revised & expanded by its original authors Warren Hinckle, the legendary founding editor of Ramparts, & ex-FBI agent William Turner, co-author of The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.Hinckle, Warren is the author of 'Deadly Secrets: The CIA-Mafia War against Castro and the Assassination of JFK' with ISBN 9781560250463 and ISBN 1560250461.
