Book Description:
|
Tells the story of the vast smuggling network that brought high-end distilled spirits and, eventually, other cargoes from Europe through Cuba to the United States between 1920 and the end of Prohibition. Because of their proximity to liquor-exporting islands, the numerous beaches along the southern coast presented ideal landing points for smugglers and distribution points for their supply networks.
