[0389-2222] COVERT WARFARE – Companion Dossier (PDF)

Description

Following the catastrophic humiliation of the Bay of Pigs, the Kennedy administration authorized a clandestine offensive engineered to dismantle the Cuban regime from the shadows. Code-named Operation Mongoose and overseen by the secretive Special Group (Augmented), this multi-agency directive pooled the resources of the CIA, Pentagon, and Joint Chiefs under an insidious mandate: no action was to be excluded a priori. This declassified companion dossier delivers a forensic examination of the bureaucratic apparatus that planned industrial sabotage, economic warfare, and targeted assassination plots against Fidel Castro. Inside, you will trace the primary source documentation generated by key architects including Richard Helms, Robert McNamara, and Edward Lansdale. From contaminated sugar exports and submarine-borne demolition teams to the lethal schemes developed within the CIA’s Technical Services Division, each page reconstructs the clinical calculations and bureaucratic absurdity of state-sponsored violence. Structured with chronological operational logs, verbatim committee memorandums, and declassified target dossiers, this publication provides researchers and intelligence historians with an uncompromising forensic record of the Cold War’s most reckless covert crusade.
