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.

Perfect toddler book for teaching big emotions and calm down techniques in a simple, visual way
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
What I received / first impressions: This is a picture book written for toddlers and young children that walks through what big emotions feel like, where you feel them in your body, and what to do when they show up. It is written in a way that is easy for kids to follow along with a parent and includes practical techniques they can actually use in the moment. What I liked: - Perfectly written for young kids: The language and pacing are just right for toddlers to stay engaged and understand without getting lost. - Teaches body awareness around emotions: I love that it helps children recognize where in their body they feel emotions, which is such a foundational skill for emotional regulation. - Covers a full range of emotions: It addresses big feelings that come from both difficult and happy moments, and acknowledges that emotions show up differently for everyone which is an important and inclusive message. - Interactive and easy to practice at home: This is something you can do together as a family, not just read and set aside. The techniques are simple enough for little ones to actually try. - Parent tips included in the back: The added section for parents on how to integrate the techniques into daily life is a thoughtful bonus that makes this more than just a read-aloud. - Great addition alongside other behavior books: We are fans of the Best Behavior series like Teeth Are Not for Biting and Hands Are Not for Hitting and this fits right in alongside those in both tone and approach. What I didn't like / concerns: Nothing. This book delivered exactly what we needed and then some. Who I think this is best for: - Parents of toddlers and young children looking for a practical, visual tool for emotional regulation - Families who already enjoy behavior and feelings books and want to add to their collection - Anyone looking for a book they can actively use with their child rather than just read to them - Teachers or caregivers working with young children on identifying and managing big emotions Bottom line: This book has genuinely helped us work through big emotions at home in a way our child can understand and participate in. It is visual, approachable, and gives both kids and parents real tools to use together. We are so glad we found it and it has earned a permanent spot in our regular reading rotation. Would I buy again? Yes, and would gift it to other parents of young children without hesitation.

Toddlerhood is a journey you should enjoy
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Toddlerhood is a completely different game from the newborn or the curious infant. But it's not just "the terrible twos," or the throw down to the ground tantrums. It's learning and doing so together and finding joy every day. As a single mom, i was looking for parenting advice and books and felt like I was continuously getting let down. I liked a little from a couple of different topics, but it felt like no one was really connecting to what I wanted to represent. I read the book transforming toddlerhood, and was so happy. Not only does the book have great advice, but actual real situation suggestions and free available resources you can download and use. My coparent and I have both read it. We love that you can do sections at a time, the easy and relatable language and small laughs of how on point Devon is. Really the only toddler parenting book you need!
