This ebook edition contains a new preface "Winston Scott and the Events of November 1963" designed to inform the discussion and debate surrounding the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Mexico City was the Casablanca of the Cold War-a hotbed of spies, revolutionaries, and assassins. The CIA's station there was the front line of the United States' fight against international communism, as important for Latin America as Berlin was for Europe.
