BONUS EPISODE: Interview of Historian, Frank Argote-Freyre

In another BONUS EPISODE from the Havana miniseries, Pettengill sits down with historian, Frank Argote-Freyre. Dr. Argote-Freyre's scholarship focuses on Latin American history, including the Cuban Revolution. His book, entitled "Fulgencio Batists: From Revolutionary to Strongman," outlines the rise of Batista and underscores the corrupt regime he built in the process. Argote-Freyre notes that while the Mafia was certainly a force to be reckoned with in Havana, it would be a gross overstatement to say they ran the island. In short, Dr. Argote-Freyre demonstrates what many of us get wrong about the intersection of the Mafia and the Batista regime.
