What went wrong, why, and what direction should actions of a similar nature take in the future? These are the questions which President Kennedy ordered to be the subject of an investigation by a special Board of Inquiry (commonly known as the Taylor Commission) on the Bay of Pigs invasion.

The Board of Inquiry (General Maxwell Taylor, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, CIA Director Allen Dulles, and others) did its job: it submitted a lengthy report and hundreds of pages of testimony which not only presented the definitive version of the events surrounding the invasion, but which also drew up a comprehensive blueprint for a much intensified Cold War. As a watershed policy statement in the history of U.S. foreign and military relations, the report and testimony are unsurpassed.
