520    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.
