We look more at JFK’s Cuba policies—specifically Operation Mongoose—and how these policies led to the Cuban Missile Crisis, which we also begin to discuss. This is the 23rd installment of our Empire and the Deep State series--an in-depth exploration of my new book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State. Again I am joined by series co-host Ben Norton of Geopolitical Economy as well our own Seamus McGuinness who is producing the series.
