The History of the U.S. Intervention in Latin America

The Zapata Swamp Land, or La Sienna God de Zapata, is a vast 1800 square mile swamp land on the southwestern coast of Cuba. The people who lived there were among the poorest and least educated on the island. Fidel Castro spent so much time in the Bay of Pigs that according to Tad Schultz, he nearly died in the swamp twice in 1959. We discussed last week how Mafiosos had finally found a contact to murder Fidel Castro with botulinum toxin.
