Because the Cold War relied so much on intelligence gathering and covert military actions, leaders often felt the need to conceal information from Congress and the American public. Which historical event best fits this description?
a. completion of the Apollo 11 mission
b. invasion of the Bay of Pigs
c. attack on Pearl Harbor
d. US involvement in the Korean War
e. Battle of the Bulge
It would be the "b. invasion of the Bay of Pigs" that best fits with this description, since this operation was highly classified due to its dangerous nature and the fact that so much was at stake.
