Historical
A fascinating, cinematic, multigenerational history of the
Cuban mob in the US from "America’s top chronicler of
organized crime"* and New York Times bestselling
author of Havana Nocturne. By the mid 1980s,
the criminal underworld in the United States had become an
ethnic polyglot; one of the most powerful illicit
organizations was none other than the Cuban mob. Known on
both sides of the law as "the Corporation," the Cuban mob’s
power stemmed from a criminal culture embedded in south
Florida’s exile community—those who had been chased from the
island by Castro’s revolution and planned to overthrow the
Marxist dictator and reclaim their nation. An epic
story of gangsters, drugs, violence, sex, and murder rooted
in the streets, The Corporation reveals how an
entire generation of political exiles, refugees, racketeers,
corrupt cops, hitmen, and their wives and girlfriends became
caught up in an American saga of desperation and empire
building. T. J. English interweaves the voices of insiders
speaking openly for the first time with a trove of
investigative material he has gathered over many decades to
tell the story of this successful criminal enterprise,
setting it against the larger backdrop of revolution, exile,
and ethnicity that makes it one of the great American
gangster stories that has been overlooked—until
now. Drawing on the detailed reporting and impressive
volume of evidence that drive his bestselling works, English
offers a riveting, in-depth look at this powerful and sordid
crime organization and its hold in the US.
