A gripping tale of gangsters. Drugs. Violence. Sex and murder. By the mid-1980s, the American underworld was a vicious melting pot of powerful criminal tribes. The most feared was the Cubam mob. This organisation of exiles, ruthlessly led by a kingppin named ''battle'', was so cold-blooded it was known on both sides of the law as ''The Corporation''. Drawing on first-hand accounts and deep research, and with the blistering prose that established him as ''America's top chronicler of organised crime'', T.J. English's The Corporation reveals how a generation of Cuban refugees, racketeers, corrupt cops, hitmen, and their families got caught up in a very American saga of empire building, criminal enterprise and revolution.
