Excellent- More about Corporation: The Rise and Fall of America's Cuban Mafia
Based on true events, this biography explores the rise and fall of the Cuban-American criminal alliance known as "The Corporation," which was formed by former cop and counter-revolutionary José Miguel Battle Sr. in 1962 after he was chased from Cuba by Fidel Castro's revolution. The Corporation gained money, power, and influence by running gambling rackets, money- laundering, drug trafficking, and murder, with the ultimate goal of killing Castro and reclaiming their homeland. The book reveals how an entire generation of political exiles, refugees, racketeers, corrupt cops, hitmen, and their wives and girlfriends became caught up in this violent desire, and how the Corporation grew into one of the USA's most sordid and deadly organizations.

Cuba, 1961. The failed invasion at The Bay of Pigs leads to Fidel Castro tightening his grip on Cuba. José Miguel Battle Sr., a former cop and member of the counter-revolutionary group seeking to overthrow him, is captured.
Miami, 1962. José Miguel Battle Sr. travels to the USA, chased from the island by the revolution, and is renamed The Godfather. A 2,500-strong Cuban-American criminal alliance, known as The Corporation, is established. The Corporation, comprised of powerful members who were fellow outcasts and enemies of Castro, is renowned on both sides of the law. The Godfather, a hero to many Cuban-Americans, forms a unit of trusted men who fight alongside him to reclaim their nation from the Marxist dictator. Gaining money, power, and influence through gambling rackets, money laundering, drug trafficking, and murder, The Corporation never gave up the dream 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 wives and girlfriends) became caught up in this violent desire, and built a criminal empire that survived over 40 years.
An epic tale of gangsters, drugs, and violence, this biography delves into how The Corporation grew into one of the USA's most sordid and deadly organizations.
