Operation Northwoods: The Military's Plot for War in Cuba

This chapter discusses Operation Northwoods, a document signed by top-ranking officials of the U.S. military, outlining illegal and treasonous acts intended to justify a military invasion of Cuba. It examines President Kennedy's handling of the military's influence and their push for war in Cuba, as well as his subsequent dismissal of Chief of Staff Lyman Lemnitzer. The chapter also explores the connection between Operation Gladio, a secret NATO network, and the lack of transparency within democratic governments.
