About the Book

A mediados de los ochenta, el submundo criminal de los Estados Unidos se convirtió en un políglota étnico. Una de las organizaciones ilícitas más poderosas era ni más ni menos que la mafia cubana. Conocida en ambos lados de la ley como La corporación, el poder de la mafia cubana venía de una cultura criminal enraizada en la comunidad de exiliados del sur de la Florida --aquellos que fueron expulsados de la isla por la revolución de Castro y que planeaban derrocar al dictador marxista y recuperar el país.

Historia épica de gánsteres, drogas, violencia, sexo y asesinatos callejeros, La corporación (The Corporation) revela cómo una generación entera de exiliados políticos, refugiados, estafadores, policías corruptos, sicarios, y sus esposas y novias se vio enredada en una saga americana de desesperación y construcción de imperios. T. J. English interconecta las voces de infiltrados, que por primera vez hablan abiertamente, con una mina de material investigativo que ha reunido durante décadas para contar la historia de esta exitosa empresa criminal, y lo contrasta con el trasfondo de la revolución, el exilio y la etnicidad, haciendo de esta una de las grandes historias americanas de gánsteres que han sido ignoradas --hasta hoy.

Basándose en informes detallados y en una impresionante cantidad de evidencia que guían sus exitosos trabajos, English ofrece una mirada cautivadora y exhaustiva a esta poderosa y sórdida organización criminal y su influencia en los Estados Unidos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A mob saga that has it all--brotherhood and betrayal, swaggering power and glittering success, and a Godfather whose reach seems utterly unrivaled. What a relentless, irresistible read." -- Don Winslow, New York Times bestselling author of The Force

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.
