Havana Mob by Tj English
Throughout the 1950s, as the Cuban people laboured under a repressive regime, the Mob-financed revelry in Havana never stopped. With compliance of President Fulgencio Batista, the Mob set out to create a financial empire that would rival the days of prohibition in the US. This book captures the history of this organised crime.
"All the razzle-dazzle is here - Sinatra, the black sedans, the showgirls - but English goes further, to show how gangsterismo permeated the politics of Cuba and influenced its destiny (*****)" The Scotsman "English describes each parallel strand of this story in the pacey style of a crime thriller, but with the meticulous research of an investigative journalist" Morning Star
