Legacy of Secrecy

The assassination of John F. Kennedy ignited not only a manhunt for his killers but also a series of covert operations by high-ranking officials to conceal U.S. invasion plans for Cuba, aided by Army Commander Juan Almeida. Key figures like Robert F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson engaged in cover-ups that thwarted potential international crises while simultaneously obstructing a thorough investigation into JFK's death. This resulted in a lasting legacy of secrecy that continues to impact historical narratives surrounding the event.
