OPERATION 40 - The Whole Bay of Pigs Thing 1
Added 2024-06-28 17:30:02 +0000 UTCIn this first episode covering the CIA's anti-Cuba operations, I go in depth about the infamous Operation 40, often termed the CIA's assassination squad. I also cover the organizational structure of the Bay of Pigs Operation.
*Reuploaded to fix a couple of typos and a small sound issue midway through
