Joseph Backes Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Has anyone done any research into the Castro - Donovan agreement that got the Bay of Pigs prisoners released? Thanks.

Joseph Backes Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I think I misspelled Donovan. Okay, JFK got this guy James B. Donovan who negotiated with Fidel Castro to get the Bay of Pigs prisoners released. I'm wondering if there is a list, and there must be one somewhere of the 1,113 survivors of the Bay of Pigs invasion. Their names must be on a list. I'd love to find such a list. Donovan, while doing these negotiations was also running as a Democrat, and endorsed by JFK, for a U.S. senate seat in New York against Jacob Javits. According to Wikipedia Donovan helped draft the legislation that created the CIA. Edited January 22, 2014 by Joseph Backes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Robertson Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi Joe, My friend Pablo wrote a book on this subject: http://www.amazon.com/After-The-Bay-Pigs-Liberty/dp/1489550682 He knew both RFK and Mr. Donovan personally; he was right there and this book should answer all your questions.
