In October 1962, while the world focused on missiles in San Cristóbal, a parallel war was brewing in the shadows of Havana. This episode explores Operation Mongoose, the covert campaign to destabilize Fidel Castro’s regime before the crisis even began. We trace how CIA officers like E. Howard Hunt and political figures like Admiral Arleigh Burke pushed for aggressive action that nearly escalated into open conflict. You will hear about Plan Zeta, the detailed sabotage schemes involving exploding cigars and poisoned diving suits, and the fierce internal debates within President Kennedy’s ExComm. The story reveals how bureaucratic momentum and fear of appearing weak drove decisions that almost triggered an invasion without presidential authorization. By examining the secret backchannels and the rogue elements within the intelligence community, we uncover how close the US came to starting a war it didn't intend to fight. This narrative challenges the standard view of the Crisis as a simple diplomatic standoff, showing instead a chaotic landscape of competing agendas and hidden dangers. #CubanMissileCrisis #OperationMongoose #EHowardHunt #PlanZeta #ExComm #FidelCastro #JohnFKennedy #CIAHistory #ColdWarEspionage #SanCristobal #ArleighBurke #GrayAreaOperations #BlackSaturday #NikitaKhrushchev #RabidCubans #CovertAction #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
