Havana Nocturne: How the Mob Owned Cuba…and Then Lost It to the Revolution | 
pickA detailed and engrossing tale of the rise of the Mafia in Havana, then their fall at the hands of the Castro revolution. At times I found the glamorizing of the mobsters unappealing, but overall they were fascinating characters, some savvy and cultured, some crude and thuggish. 4 💥💥💥💥
pickTop pick! My friends and family would probably say I've been obsessed with Cuba ever since the Kennedy assassination papers were released. This book was everything I hoped it would be and much more. The mob in Cuba did everything from setting up an orgy for Senator John Kennedy to smuggling guns to Castro's men in the mountains to hedge their bets.I listened to this one, and recommend it to anyone who geeks out on this kind of stuff.
pickI find American crime very interesting, and this book made me love it! Some historical works van be very dry reads, but this book is entertaining an captivating. It's easy to forget while you're immersed that it's all true! It was such an intriguing period in history, and T.J English really captures the essence of the times. I've read it more than once, and will read it again in the future!
