OBSESSION

“This book represents the capstone on Don Dohning's distinguished career of reporting on Cuba and all of the Caribbean and Latin America. His reportorial and analytical skills—well known to readers of the Miami Herald—are in clear evidence within these pages. This book sheds new light on an important chapter in U.S. policy toward Cuba, which dramatically shaped the history of Florida and of America during the Cold War.”

—-Bob Graham, former U.S. senator and former governor of Florida

‘The Castro Obsession captures, in abundant detail, the complex plotting and intrigue of covert operations against Cuba. Bohning has catalogued the secret side of an amazing history that remains relevant this day.”

—Peter Kornbluh, author of The Bay of Pigs Declassified

‘The execution and failure of the U.S.-sponsored invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, the frequent nuttiness and occasional lethality of CIA plots against the Castro regime, and the endlessly convoluted politics of Cuban-exile Miami in the 1960s come alive in this thorough, vastly informative, and admirably wellwritten account of the passions and policies that marked U.S. policy
