Haynes Johnson's reconstruction of the Bay of Pigs invasion was published in 1964, when the episode was still raw. It drew heavily on first- hand accounts provided by the invaders themselves, who naturally were bitterly resentful of how they had been used. Thus it offers a useful historical perspective that benefits from the immediacy of the events recounted. It was left to later accounts to offer a fuller portrayal of what was behind the invasion. Rather than being planned by low level CIA agents, we now know that the invasion had high level support throughout the US government, in administrations of both Eisenhower and Kennedy. A more complete (and more dispassionate) account can be found in Jim Rasenberger's "The Brilliant Disaster: JFK, Castro, and America's Doomed Invasion of the Bay of Pigs," among other recent sources.
