To underworld kingpins Meyer Lansky and Charles "Lucky" Luciano,
Cuba was the greatest hope for the future of American organized
crime in the post-Prohibition years. In the 1950s, the Mob--with
the corrupt, repressive government of brutal Cuban dictator
Fulgencio Batista in its pocket--owned Havana's biggest luxury
hotels and casinos, launching an unprecedented tourism boom
complete with the most lavish entertainment, top-drawer
celebrities, gorgeous women, and gambling galore. But Mob dreams
collided with those of Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and others who
would lead an uprising of the country's disenfranchised against
Batista's hated government and its foreign partners--an epic
cultural battle that bestselling author T. J. English captures here
in all its sexy, decadent, ugly glory.
