#*# Havana Nocturne How the Mob Owned Cuba and Then Lost It to the Revolution



This is another Mob book, complete with the requisite boast of involvement in the Kennedy assasination. The sensational and sexual stories are too much like tabloid journalism for my taste, but some of the interesting history of the Cuban revolution and biographical information about Castro is enlighting. I was in Havana five years ago and thought the perseverance of the Cuban people in the face of so much hardship would be the main story. The author brings several semi-hidden dimensions of the Cuba of the mid-20th century to light, and you can probably add some new knowledge to your fund of Cuba lore.
