By the fall of 1962, President John F. Kennedy and his brother,
Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, had spent the better part of a year
orchestrating a massive and multifaceted campaign aimed at toppling
Cuban dictator Fidel Castro from power.
The initiative, code named "Operation Mongoose," drew on the
brainpower and energies of the U.S. government's most senior officials
and ranged from balloon drops of anti-Castro pamphlets and cartoons to
covert sabotage of Cuban industry and infrastructure. In time, it would
even include active plotting to assassinate the Cuban dictator, with the
Central Intelligence Agency clandestinely enlisting the aid of the
era's reigning Mafia chieftains.
