A mediados de los ochenta, el submundo criminal de los Estados Unidos se convirtió en un políglota étnico. Una de las organizaciones ilícitas más poderosas era ni más ni menos que la mafia cubana. Conocida en ambos lados de la ley como "La corporación", el poder de la mafia cubana venía de una cultura criminal enraizada en la comunidad de exiliados del sur de la Florida --aquellos que fueron expulsados de la isla por la revolución de Castro y que planeaban derrocar al dictador marxista y recuperar el país.

Historia épica de gánsteres, drogas, violencia, sexo y asesinatos callejeros, La corporación (The Corporation) revela cómo una generación entera de exiliados políticos, refugiados, estafadores, policías corruptos, sicarios, y sus esposas y novias se vio enredada en una saga americana de desesperación y construcción de imperios. T. J. English interconecta las voces de infiltrados, que por primera vez hablan abiertamente, con una mina de material investigativo que ha reunido durante décadas para contar la historia de esta exitosa empresa criminal, y lo contrasta con el trasfondo de la revolución, el exilio y la etnicidad, haciendo de esta una de las grandes historias americanas de gánsteres que han sido ignoradas --hasta hoy.

Basándose en informes detallados y en una impresionante cantidad de evidencia que guían sus exitosos trabajos, English ofrece una mirada cautivadora y exhaustiva a esta poderosa y sórdida organización criminal y su influencia en los Estados Unidos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A mob saga that has it all--brotherhood and betrayal, swaggering power and glittering success, and a Godfather whose reach seems utterly unrivaled. What a relentless, irresistible read." -- Don Winslow, New York Times bestselling author of The Force

A fascinating, cinematic, multigenerational history of the Cuban mob in the US from "America's top chronicler of organized crime" and New York Times bestselling author of Havana Nocturne.

By the mid 1980s, the criminal underworld in the United States had become an ethnic polyglot; one of the most powerful illicit organizations was none other than the Cuban mob. Known on both sides of the law as "the Corporation," the Cuban mob's power stemmed from a criminal culture embedded in south Florida's exile community--those who had been chased from the island by Castro's revolution and planned to overthrow the Marxist dictator and reclaim their nation.

An epic story of gangsters, drugs, violence, sex, and murder rooted in the streets, The Corporation reveals how an entire generation of political exiles, refugees, racketeers, corrupt cops, hitmen, and their wives and girlfriends became caught up in an American saga of desperation and empire building. T. J. English interweaves the voices of insiders speaking openly for the first time with a trove of investigative material he has gathered over many decades to tell the story of this successful criminal enterprise, setting it against the larger backdrop of revolution, exile, and ethnicity that makes it one of the great American gangster stories that has been overlooked--until now.

Drawing on the detailed reporting and impressive volume of evidence that drive his bestselling works, English offers a riveting, in-depth look at this powerful and sordid crime organization and its hold in the US.

Great toddler backpack!
Size: Small, Color: All Black
My daughter is in prek 3 and loves this backpack. Nice and small for her to carry. A full folder will fit with a little force, but if you’re looking for something to actually carry folders and books, maybe not the best.

“Tiny Backpack, Big Personality!”
This little backpack is doing big kid things — and my toddler knows it. The second we strapped it on, he marched around like he was off to close a business deal with juice boxes in both hands. It’s the perfect size for tiny shoulders, and the chest buckle? GENIUS. No more slippy straps or bag-flinging tantrums. It stays put like a champ, even during epic playground sprints and spontaneous dance moves in the grocery store. The material is sturdy, the zippers glide like butter, and the reflective strip makes my toddler look like he’s ready for a baby night shift. The color combo is sleek — black and grey with just the right touch of “cool kid on campus” energy. Plenty of space for snacks, sippy cups, a favorite toy, and 14 mysterious pebbles he insisted on collecting “for science.” If your 2-4-year-old wants to carry their own stuff and look proud doing it — this is the backpack for them. Highly recommend (and yes, I already ordered another one for backup... because toddlers). 🎒

Good! Recommend
Size: Small, Color: Pink Dino
My 2 year old loves this backpack. I love the snap in the front for additional support of the distribution of weight. It has a good size cup holders and the inside of the bag is very spacious.

A good buy especially for young kids
Our community is providing school supplies this year for an elementary school that we adopted. Backpacks are in big demand but, as you know if you’ve been shopping, pretty pricey. This backpack was a Prime-day find so I bought a couple of them but, even back to the regular price, it’s a good deal especially for very young kids. In person the backpack is cute and stylish with the vibrant range of colors you see in the product pictures. I bought the large backpack which, as you can see in the photo, is more than tall enough for a standard manila folder. The stitching seems sound and the straps work as you would expect; it also has two side pockets. If I had to pick a weak spot, I’d say it’s the zipper, especially the one on the front pouch. It’s not a problem at the moment but it’s nylon, not metal, and so I don’t expect it to last forever. But if it gets through one school year, I consider that good. I think it’s a pretty good buy if you’re on a budget.

Cute, definitely a perfect size for my tall 3 yr old. (3’7”) I did have to let it air out though. Has a weird smell.
