The Corporation by T.J. English
An engrossing narrative history that traces the rise and fall of a Cuban-American crime network born in Havana’s glamorous casino era and reshaped by the upheavals of the Cuban Revolution, following exiles who rebuilt gambling, smuggling and racketeering operations in Miami and beyond. Through vivid portraits of gamblers, gangsters, politicians and lawmen, the book illuminates how alliances with American mobsters, corrupt officials and clandestine U.S. operations blurred the lines between politics and organized crime, revealing the violence, betrayals and moral compromises that underpinned the pursuit of wealth and power in exile and exposing the darker side of the American Dream.
