About the book
In the spring of 1980, under intense pressure from the United States, Cuba opened its port at Mariel Harbor, and thousands set sail for America. They came in search of the American Dream. One of them found it. Those who challenged him, he crushed. Those who tried to stop him, he killed. Scarface.
