TJ English's book Havana Nocturne: How the Mob Owned Cuba and Then Lost It to the Revolution brought me a much better understanding of Meyer Lansky. It's pretty easy to read. The book is now in paperback and on Amazon here.
English has new book out --- The Savage City: Race, Murder, and a Generation on the Edge.
I notice many more books than I can read. Here are ones that have come to my attention that sound interesting, whether I ever get around to reading them or not.
