Executive Action: 634 Ways to Kill Fidel Castro

By Fabian Escalante

"Escalante's review of CIA covert operations against Cuba in the early years is to be welcomed, and should be widely read--and pondered."--Noam Chomsky

A unique view presented by the man responsible for countering innumerable assassination attempts against the Cuban leader. As Cuba's former counterintelligence chief, Fabi n Escalante reviews more than six hundred CIA plots to assassinate Fidel Castro, a project code-named "Executive Action." Although melodramatic and at times quite comical, these CIA plans were deadly serious--and -unconstitutional--as subsequent US government inquiries concluded, including the 1975 commission headed by Senator Frank Church.

This book is the basis of a forthcoming Channel 4 (UK) documentary about attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro.
