Decision for Disaster

When the 2506 Assault Brigade - a force of U.S.-trained Cuban exiles - invaded Fidel Castro's Cuba in April 1961. Grayston L. Lynch was the CIA's case officer on the Brigade's command ship. He led the first combat team ashore, handled every communication between Washington and the beachhead, and spent three agonizing days at the battle's end rescuing survivors. Lynch believes the Kennedy administration betrayed the Brigade and covered up its contribution to the debacle. Decision for Disaster is his eyewitness account of what really happened. Based on Lynch's observations before during and after the battle, as well as on recently declassified information. It is an action-filled personal account of a historical watershed, the impact of which is still felt strongly today.
