The first in a series of volumes on the JFK assassination, Where Angels Tread Lightly is a unique scholarly examination of historical episodes that go back to WWII, the Office of Strategic Services, and the early evolution of the CIA—up to and beyond Castro’s assumption of power in Cuba in 1959. This book is a groundbreaking investigation of America’s failure in Cuba that uncovers the CIA’s role in Castro’s rise to power and their ensuing efforts to destroy him.
This work retraces the paths taken by many of the key players who became entangled in the CIA’s plots to overthrow Castro and the development of the myth that Castro was responsible for the assassination of President Kennedy.
With rigorous scholarship and the brilliant insight of a trained textual records interpreter and document forensic specialist, Dr. John M. Newman sheds new light on the multiple identities played by individual CIA officers. Where Angels Tread Lightly deciphers the people and operations that belong to a large number of CIA cryptonyms and pseudonyms that have remained, until now, unsolved.

The darkest secrets about the assassination of President Kennedy were hidden underneath the CIA's plots to destroy Castro By Alan Dale "There is no darker story in our recent history than how the American struggle with Fidel Castro became entangled with the assassination of President Kennedy." Dr. John M. NewmanBuried within the records of America’s military and intelligence bureaucracies are the hidden histories of the Cold War. The Assassination of President Kennedy, Vol. 1: Where Angels Tread Lightly brings greater depth and more detail to our understanding of the roots of its subject than anything previously published. It is a story that begins with an examination of the conditions and opposing factions within Cuba which led to Castro's 26 of July movement and the Cuban Revolution. This first book in Dr. Newman's planned multi-volume series on President Kennedy's assassination offers a masterful introduction to the dynamic complexities of Cuban-American relations in the wake of Fidel Castro's emergence and ascendency to power. Understanding how the United States responded to Castro, and learning who were the figures of consequence as officers, assets and operatives within the fabric of America's officially authorized Cuban operations is the necessary context for uncovering a hidden path which ultimately led to the assassination of President Kennedy.This work reads like a classic film screenplay. The characters are of such color and intrigue as to be compared with those found in the richest and most enthralling Spy Novels. Dr. Newman introduces CIA affiliated individuals and personalities, agents and double-agents who employed multiple identities engaged in multiple -- sometimes overlapping -- operations. We learn of deliberate deceptions perpetrated against both presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy by their intelligence executives. We encounter June Cobb and her extraordinary counterpart, Katherine Taafe, certainly among the most interesting figures ever to cross the historical stage. We find extraordinary details about the Cuban figures who defined the earliest opposition to the Batista regime, the Directorio Revolucianario and its evolution into the DRE with which Lee Harvey Oswald made news on the streets of New Orleans in the summer of 1963, and we explore the pseudonyms, cryptonyms and acronyms relevant to our understanding of the period 1959 - 1963, the most seismically volatile period of the Cold War which will be the primary focus of this work in subsequent volumes. And throughout each chapter we follow the intriguing paths of an infamous cast of players: Allen Dulles, David Phillips, William Harvey, David Morales, E. Howard Hunt, Tony Sforza, Frank Sturgis/Frank Fiorini, Rolando Cubela and many others whose identities and actions will be with us from the earliest days of the Cuban Revolution all the way through November 22, 1963 and beyond.This is not JFK for Beginners. There will be revelations even for the most experienced JFK assassination researchers; new details which will inform and fascinate all who are interested in history, the Intelligence agencies, their sources and methods. The Assassination of President Kennedy Volume 1, Where Angels Tread Lightly is an exemplary step in a new era of 21st century JFK research. Dr. Newman is a former Army Intelligence officer, an expert in Far Eastern studies, a scholar of Christian Theology and comparative religions, an historian, educator and author whose research has led to revelations about America's hidden histories. Whether 4, 5, 6 or more volumes, he is doing his part to see this through, to expose and explain, and to take us further than we've ever been in a scholarly examination of what really happened to President Kennedy, who was responsible, and how they got away with it.He deserves our gratitude and support."Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day." Thomas Jefferson"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." James Madison

Masterful work from a veteran JFK and Cold War historian By Tim Fattig This is a work of consequence, not a light read by any means, but an important one. John Newman, the historian who has produced vital and nearly definitive works on topics ranging from John F. Kennedy's resolute but embattled Vietnam policy to Lee Harvey Oswald's pre-assassination links to various U.S. intelligence agencies, has delivered another must-read, one that sheds new light on some of the darkest, ugliest chapters of America's post-WWII foreign policy.It all goes back to Cuba. Maybe it always has. But for years there were shell games and parlor games to distract and dismay: Were there Oswald impersonators? What sort of weapon was recovered from the TSBD? How many shots were fired from which building? All necessary questions, and all part of our understanding of the case as a whole, but Newman and a few other researchers have cut away the unanswerable and distracting side-topics to get to the heart of what made everything go very, very wrong: the CIA's attempts to overthrow Castro, JFK's refusal to turn the Bay of Pigs "invasion" into a full-scale U.S. military action, and the subsequent programs-- some official, some privately funded-- to repair the collective bruised ego of the Agency's best and brightest, by getting rid of Castro by any means available. People died along the way to make this happen, in both the U.S. and Cuba, and small fortunes were expended in the interest of regime change, but at no point did the tally sheet include the name of Fidel Castro. More than a half-century later, Fidel is the last man standing, an irony that can be lost on no one.All the names are here, and many of the key events. But even the most studious JFK researcher will find endless surprises and points of sheer enlightenment, seeing the marriage of new material and new analysis. This is the kind of work for which John Newman is justly well and widely known in the community, and this work is every bit as indispensable as what has gone before. Get it, read it, and learn from it.

It dives very deep into a mileu few have gone before. It is extremely detailed with the use of NARA files, some of which have no real bearing on the end game, but when you are trying to solve history’s greatest murder mystery, it is imperative to leave no stone unturned. While this work is not flawless and does contain errors, the author's approach is spot on and is deserving of five stars.I agree that the only way to understand the JFK story is to decode the Agency's pseudonyms, cryptonyms and multiple identities related to still-sensitive Cuban Operations. It should be noted that once an intelligence officer was promoted to the Chief of a Task Force (one level below supergrade), he was the equivalent to a full senior army Colonel. These are the types of individuals who can initiate black ops, or "dark operations," to quote the author.I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the events surrounding the Bay of Pigs invasion and JFK's presidency. This is not only a solid piece of research but a valuable resource as well, and I very much look forward to the upcoming volumes.
