The Corporation

By the mid-1980s, the American underworld was a vicious melting pot of ancient and modern tribes. One of the most powerful of these criminal fraternities was the Cuban mob, an organisation so cold and powerful it was known on both sides of the law as "The Corporation". Helmed by an ex-cop and commando Jose Miguel Battle, its powerbase a community of exiles in south-Florida chased from the island by Castro's revolution but planning to overthrow the Marxist dictator and reclaim Cuba.

Drawing on the blistering prose and deep research that drove TJ English's New York Times bestseller *Havana Nocturne* and established him as "America's top chronicler of organised crime", ** *The Corporation* ** is an epic, multi-generational history of the Cuban-American underworld soon to be made into a film ("a Cuban version of The Godfather") by Leonardo Dicaprio and Benicio del Toro.
