Synopsis
Controversial and mischievous, 638 Ways to Kill Castro explores the history of the relationship between the U.S. government and Cuba through the countless American attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro. The plots range from the brilliant to the outlandish (poisoned boots, toxic cigars, exploding softballs) and are recounted by the people who were there: both the men who tried to kill Castro and those who successfully thwarted their efforts.

Though an exciting story of espionage and international relations that exposes the truth behind America’s relentless obsession with eliminating Castro, 638 Ways… also serves as an exploration of American foreign policy right up through the 21st century and the War on Terror. But at its center is a story of a man who wouldn’t die.
