CIA Attempts to Assassinate Fidel Castro
Season 1 Episode 114
In 1959, rebels led by Fidel Castro took control of Cuba. Having a communist power just 90 miles from the border made American officials nervous. Very nervous. And thus the Central Intelligence Agency - the CIA - worked up a variety of plans to remove Castro - and - hopefully - bring about the downfall of his regime. Those plans took many wild turns - and would never be successful. This is the story of the CIA Attempts to Assassinate Fidel Castro.
