FAINARU, Steve and SANCHEZ, Ray. The Duke of Havana. Baseball, Cuba and the Search for the American Dream

[From the cover] "Present throughout are the larger-than-life characters who converged at this bizarre intersection of baseball and politics: El Duque himself, Fidel Castro, the Miami sports agent Joe Cubas, the late John Cardinal O’Connor - along with scouts, smugglers, and the Cuban ballplayers who gave up their lives as tools of socialism to test the free market and chase their major league dreams."
