Summary: "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-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 Cuban-inspired plot, they hoped to remove an obstacle to their plans and to provide a pretext for decisive military action against Cuba."
