Details:

Frank Sturgis archive of personal papers comprising dozens of pages of manuscript material, correspondence, research drafts, and contemporary newspaper clippings, many retained in original mailing envelopes and folders, several prominently stamped “CONFIDENTIAL.” The archive reflects Sturgis’s long involvement in anti-Castro activities, intelligence-adjacent circles, and later political controversies.

The group includes draft manuscripts and research materials relating to proposed and unpublished works, including “Fidel Castro: Up Close — and Dangerous”, internal memoranda, typed reports, annotated pages, and period press coverage documenting Cuban revolutionary activities, exile operations, and Cold War–era political maneuvering. Also present are multiple original mailing envelopes addressed to Sturgis at his Miami residence.

Period newspaper clippings and magazine articles within the archive trace Sturgis’s public profile from his early anti-Castro involvement through the Watergate era, including coverage linking him to broader intelligence and paramilitary narratives of the Cold War. The material offers a rare, ground-level view into the private working papers of one of the most enigmatic figures to emerge from the intersection of Cuban exile politics, covert operations, and American political scandal.

Fine condition overall, with expected age wear, handling creases, toning, edge wear, and folds consistent with working research files and retained correspondence.

Frank Sturgis (1924–1993) was a Cuban-American operative, soldier of fortune, and political activist best known for his role in the Watergate burglary, where he was one of the five men arrested inside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in June 1972. Beyond Watergate, Sturgis has long occupied a controversial place in American history due to his associations with anti-Castro operations, intelligence circles, and his later implication—though never proven—in various theories surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
