Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Before the revolution, Havana was theirs. American organized crime had built a casino empire in Cuba - world-class gambling floors inside luxury hotels, billions moving through Swiss accounts, and a Batista government that accepted the arrangement as a matter of economic policy. At the cent…er of it all was Santo Trafficante Jr., the Tampa boss whose organizational intelligence, Cuban political relationships, and specific operational sophistication made him indispensable to the enterprise - and who watched it all vanish in a single revolutionary night on January 1, 1959.What Trafficante did next is the stranger and more consequential story. He cultivated his Cuban contacts, survived detention by the new government, and returned to Florida with something more durable than the casino empire he had lost: the specific knowledge, the relationships, and the operational capabilities that made him the obvious choice when the CIA went looking for someone to assassinate Fidel Castro. The mob killer became a Cold War asset. Whether he actually tried to deliver - or whether he played the CIA as skillfully as he played everyone else - is the question that haunts the historical record to this day.Then there is Dallas. The House Select Committee on Assassinations named Trafficante among the most likely suspects for organizational involvement in the Kennedy assassination. He denied it with the studied composure of a man who had spent forty years being the man who was never there.The Last Havana Godfather is the definitive narrative account of the most deliberately invisible figure in American mob history - his empire, his silence, and the unanswered questions he took to his grave.
