In fact, Kennedy recruited, that well-known Cold War hardliner, General Edward Lansdale to come up with a strategy for the removal of Castros government. Harris Wofford, argues in Of Kennedys and Kings: Making Sense of the Sixties (1980) that during the 1960 campaign, Kennedy seemed to relish taking rhetorical shots at Castro and competing with Republicans over who would take the strongest action against the new Cuban regime. Wofford was most disturbed when Kennedy issued a statement calling for the United States to strengthen the non-Batista democratic anti-Castro forces in exile, and in Cuba itself, who offer eventual hope of overthrowing Castro.
