How do requests for aid from the leaders of the military coup support the view
that it was ENGINEERED by the Soviets rather than a personal power-grab?
Why don't some owners of the book post something that purportedly shows USSR
complicity?

We have our troops all over the fucking place.  Why do people get so upset
about a couple of hundred Cuban soldiers?  If you insist that high levels of
military aid is the sign of a desire for a coup, you may have to reconsider
your opinion on Chile in 1973, El Salvador now, etc.

It's amazing how quickly people discover "the red menace" when they can't
justify their beliefs otherwise.
