“Rivas thoroughly mines his sources – including participants'
memoirs – for fascinating nuggets… Helion's handy history superbly
summarizes the ignominious effort. Make it your introduction to
this Cold War debacle. Robustly recommended!”
*Cybermodeler*
“If you would like to know more about this historic event of the
Cold War, then this is an excellent choice. Interesting for the
historian and the modeller and in a good value book as well.”
*Military Model Scene*
“The young author has interviewed surviving members of the exiles
that participated at Bay of Pigs while also attempting to find
photographic images – something very, very hard to do. He has thus
assembled a creditable text with numerous photos, maps, and color
profiles to recreate what it must have been like to storm those
beaches over five decades ago… Historians and modelers alike will
certainly enjoy this volume.”
*Air Classics*
“Another great book in this series which presents the military
historian with something that breaks the usual mould.”
*Military Modelling*
“The author has done some extensive research, which includes not
only poring over government documents but also interviewing some of
the remaining participants of the operation. These personal
anecdotes and historical documents are further enhanced by the
multitude of photographs included in the book, many of which have
not been seen before… This is a great continuation of the Latin
America @ War series, and I look forward to seeing what the next
subjects in this arena will be.”
*Internet Modeler*
"… this is excellent stuff."
