Sixty-five years after 1,400 CIA-trained Cuban exiles landed at Playa Girón and failed to overthrow Fidel Castro, one classified document — a CIA cable designated TX-1162 — has never been released. This episode tells the full story of Operation Zapata: the planning, Kennedy's last-minute cancellation of the crucial air strikes, three days of fighting in the swamp, and what the Bay of Pigs meant for Caribbean sovereignty for generations to come.
