In the days before the Bay of Pigs: "Just before I left for Guatemala, some of my colleagues persuaded me to join a newly formed unit - "Operation Forty" - which was to be integrated within the brigade and charged with the occupation and temporary administration of liberated territories...This unit was composed of about eighty men, most of them young professionals known to me, and was headed by an amiable former colonel of the Cuban army, Vicente Leon, who had honored his uniform throughout his career...(A) development that disturbed me was that Operation Forty had been split, and I was no longer assigned to the affable Colonel Leon, with whom I had built a close relationship, but to the stout and boisterous Captain Zorilla. This puzzled me, since Leon had just appointed me as one of his aides. When I inquired about the change, the colonel assured me that the separation - decreed for logistical reasons - would only be temporary and that all of the members of Operation Forty would gather as a group on the beachhead. I never saw Leon again. Some say he died in combat along with several of my friends; others affirm that he shot himself at the Bay of Pigs before running out of ammunition and falling into the hands of Castro. All I know is that he was not captured; he did not surrender."
