Syndicate Abroad (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948986359)

In another installment in his series on the organized crime Syndicate run by Meyer Lansky, investigative reporter Hank Messick details how the group moved its operations into the Bahamas following the Cuban Revolution. Relying more on moxie than muscle, and the bribe than violence, the Syndicate worked itself into Bahamian banks, board rooms, and the halls of political power. Ultimately, Lansky and his boys helped establish modern casino gambling in the Bahamas, which funneled American tourist cash into Syndicate coffers.
