Description

A fascinating, cinematic, multigenerational history of the Cuban mob in america from “The us’s top chronicler of organized crime”* and New York Times bestselling writer of Havana Nocturne.

By the mid 1980s, the criminal underworld in the US had change into an ethnic polyglot; probably the most powerful illicit organizations was once 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 crucial great American gangster stories that has been lost sight of—until now.

Drawing on the detailed reporting and impressive volume of evidence that drive his bestselling works, English offers a riveting, in-depth take a look at this powerful and sordid crime organization and its hold in america.
