Bay of Pigs Declassified by Peter Kornbluh
Dislodged from the government through the Freedom of Information Act, this is an uncompromising look at high officials' arrogance, ignorance, and incompetence, as displayed in their attitude toward Castro's revolution and toward the Cuban exiles the CIA had organized to invade the island.
"One of the most secret documents of the Cold War" (New York Times) - "The most brutally frank and honest government document ever written" - Evan Thomas, Deputy Managing Editor, Newsweek - "There is little wonder why the spy agency has guarded [this report] so jealously." - Associated Press - "A picture of an agency shot through with deadly self-deception ... An untapped well of cold, hard facts." - New York Times
