This article focuses on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) anti-Cuba campaign of the 1960s. The secret war on Cuba figures prominently in Oliver Stone's conspiracy theory that U.S. military officers, intelligence operatives and freelance anti-Communists plotted. There were a few attempted raids, some economic sabotage and some money passed to Cuban exiles, but the project was hampered by high-level policy-makers who dickered over just how far the agency could go. After the missile crisis, CIA operations against Cuba continued. In 1963 the agency, directed commando strikes against the island and provided money and weapons to rebels who had set up bases in Central America from which they could attack Cuba.
