Paperback. Zustand: Good. In modern-day Havana, the remnants of the glamorous past are everywhere--old hotel-casinos, vintage American cars & flickering neon signs speak of a bygone era that is widely familiar & often romanticized, but little understood. In Havana Nocturne, T.J. English offers a multifaceted true tale of organized crime, political corruption, roaring nightlife, revolution & international conflict that interweaves the dual stories of the Mob in Havana & the event that would overshadow it, the Cuban Revolution. As the Cuban people labored under a violently repressive regime throughout the 50s, American Mafia leaders Meyer Lansky & Charles "Lucky" Luciano turned their eye to Havana. To them, Cuba was the ultimate dream, the greatest hope for the future of the US Mob in the post-Prohibition years of intensified government crackdowns. But when it came time to make their move, it was Lansky, the brilliant Jewish mobster, who reigned supreme. Having cultivated strong ties with the Cuban government & in particular the brutal dictator Fulgencio Batista, Lansky brought key mobsters to Havana to put his ambitious business plans in motion.  Before long, the Mob, with Batista's corrupt government in its pocket, owned the biggest luxury hotels & casinos in Havana, launching an unprecedented tourism boom complete with the most lavish entertainment, the world's biggest celebrities, the most beautiful women & gambling galore. But their dreams collided with those of Fidel Castro, Che Guevara & others who would lead the country's disenfranchised to overthrow their corrupt government & its foreign partners--an epic cultural battle that English captures in all its sexy, decadent, ugly glory.  Bringing together long-buried historical information with English's own research in Havana--including interviews with the era's key survivors--Havana Nocturne takes readers back to Cuba in the years when it was a veritable devil's playground for mob leaders. In a gripping story of the Mob's rise and fall, English deftly weaves together the parallel stories of the Havana Mob--featuring notorious criminals such as Santo Trafficante Jr & Albert Anastasia--& Castro's 26th of July Movement in a riveting, up-close look at how the Mob nearly attained its biggest dream in Havana--& how Fidel Castro trumped it all with the revolution.  This definitive account of the American Mafia in Cuba reveals: Key Mafia Figures: Follow Meyer Lansky, "Lucky" Luciano, and Santo Trafficante Jr. as they build a glamorous empire of luxury hotels and casinos, hoping to secure the future of the US Mob. A Brutal Dictator: See how the Mob cultivated strong ties with the violently repressive regime of Fulgencio Batista, placing the corrupt Cuban government squarely in its pocket. The Cuban Revolution: Witness the epic cultural battle as the Mob's dreams collide with those of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, who lead the country's disenfranchised to overthrow their foreign partners. In-Depth Historical Research: Go back to the 1950s with long-buried information and interviews with the era's key survivors, providing a riveting, up-close look at a devil's playground.…
