EG did not play a major fighting role at Playa Giron, though he was wounded by an accidental gun discharge. Politically, he did precipitate the invasion by 1) creating so many exiles (eg Felix Rodriguez who had a grudge) 2) openly embracing the USSR and China 3) Nationalizing U.S. businesses (without compensation) 4) the implicit threat of exporting revolution to South America. He later sent a message to JFK regarding bay of pigs, thanking him for strengthening the revolution.
Secret meeting? I'd guess Malcolm X.
