KUBA INVASION SCHWEINEBUCHT
In this April 1961 photo, Cuba's leader Fidel Castro jumps from a tank as he arrives at Giron, Cuba, near the Bay Of Pigs. On April 17-19, 1961, the beach was the stage for one of the most memorable chapters in the struggle between Washington and Havana: the invasion of Cuba by a CIA-trained band of armed exiles. Cuba will celebrate on Jan. 1, 2009 the 50th anniversary of the triumph of the revolution. (KEYSTONE/AP Photo/Bohemia Magazine)
