Twice during the Kennedy Administration the U.S. faced crises over Cuba, one of which, the Cuban Missile Crisis, brought the U.S. and USSR perilously close to nuclear war. In both crises, intelligence played key roles, indeed. The first crisis, the Bay of Pigs, was a covert operation. Write a paper that defines, compares, and contrasts the intelligence aspects of each of these crises. How does each crisis elucidate the constraints of intelligence operations? How does each (or does each) illustrate the critical role intelligence can play in U.S. strategic interests?
