T.J. ENGLISH ON HAVANA NOCTURNE: HOW THE MOB OWNED CUBA

7:00 PM

In the 1950s, Cuba was glamorous, sensual, exciting – and owned by the mob. This will be the gritty, sexy story of the mob’s decadent dominion over 1950s Havana and the revolution that brought their power to an end. What was the mob’s role in the Cuban Revolution? How did Cuba and the U.S. come to a decades-long standoff? And what’s the real story of the dark plotting and double-crossing that plunged Cuba into its current regime?

T.J. English is the bestselling author of Paddy Whacked, The Westies, and the Edgar winning Changing Face of Organized Crime. He’s written feature stories for such magazines as Playboy, Esquire, and New York. As a screenwriter, he’s written episodes of NYPD Blue and for Homicide, for which he was awarded the Humanitas Prize.
