There are Men of Light and Men of Shadows…

April 1961, Cuba

Several battalions of exiles, trained and supported by the US, land at The Bay of Pigs in a bid to overthrow Fidel Castro and regain governance of Cuba.

America has become increasingly nervous about the development of a Communist state so close to their own country, and their alarm has escalated as the world sees the stockpiling of weapons supplied by the Soviet Union. Something must be done, but discreetly. The world must not know of US involvement.

But soon after the start of the campaign, the United Nations openly disapproves of the US airstrikes on Cuban bases, causing a knee-jerk decision by Kennedy to withdraw American support. Leaving Brigade 2506 as lambs to the slaughter.

This fictionalized account of The Bay of Pigs Invasion brings depth and humanity to one of the worst betrayals in political history.
