Fidel Castro

In the 1960s, the specter of communism looms, and the U.S. steps up its efforts to suppress left-wing movements around the world and in the Americas. In Cuba, a left-wing lawyer leads a revolution against a feared dictator and takes office. The CIA fears a communist threat that is now frighteningly close to home. With President Dwight D. Eisenhower's authorization to launch an offensive, the CIA trains anti-Castro fighters to undermine and eventually overthrow the dictator. (Text: History)
