In Havana Nocturne, T. J. British offers a riveting, multifaceted true tale of organized criminal offense, political problem, roaring nightlife, trend, and international conflict that interweaves the dual experiences of the mob in Havana and the function that would overshadow it: the Cuban Revolution.Combining long-buried historical information and English's own research in Havana-including interviews with the era's key survivors-Havana Nocturne requires readers back to Cuba in the years when it was a veritable devil's playground for mob market leaders Meyer Lansky and Charles "Lucky" Luciano. Because of strong ties with the island's brutal dictator, President Batista, the mob soon managed the biggest luxury hotels and casinos and launched an unprecedented tourist growth. But their dreams collided with those of Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and others who would lead the country's disenfranchised to overthrow their corrupt administration and its overseas partners-an epic cultural battle that British captures in every its alluring, decadent, unsightly glory.
