What created the conditions under which someone like Castro was able to gain ? and maintain the support of the people?This book offers a surprising answer: The mob.Inside this book, you will discover how Batista's friendship with Meyer Lansky allowed the Mafia to become dollar for dollar partners with the Cuban government in the casino hotel industry.

Finally, you will learn what life was like for Cubans who lived through these times as they explain in their own words how events caused them to either flee ? or join the revolution.
