Fifty years after the Bay of Pigs Invasion, University of Alabama historian Howard Jones joins us to talk about his new book, a detailed and cautionary account of the disastrous foray into regime change that severely embarrassed Kennedy and his Administration just months into his presidency.  Jones examines all aspects of the invasion and its foreign policy and military implications that continue to reverberate decades later.
