Description
The Corporation Gangsters, Drugs, Sex and Violence: The Rise and Fall of American's Cuban Mafia by T. J. English In 1961, Fidel Castro tightened his grip on Cuba following the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. This event set in motion a chain of events that would lead to the formation of one of America's most notorious criminal organisations - The Corporation. Established by José Miguel Battle Sr., a former cop and counter-revolutionary, The Corporation grew into a powerful alliance of outcasts and enemies of Castro. Its members engaged in various illicit activities, including gambling rackets, money laundering, drug trafficking, and murder, all with the ultimate goal of killing Castro and reclaiming their homeland. This explosive biography reveals how an entire generation of political exiles, refugees, racketeers, corrupt cops, hitmen, and their associates became embroiled in this violent desire and built a criminal empire that survived for over 40 years.
