This is a personal narrative as well as a book about Miami at the moment in the mid-1980s when the transformation of the city by its Cuban exile population was achieving critical mass. Rieff looks at Miami as America's New Havana, with a nod to the image fostered by TV's ""Miami Vice"" - an easy-going recital of his visits with Miami's most influential Cuban leaders, ranging from moderates to possibly murderous, anti-Castro politicos, along with tours of the city's now-famed Calle Ocho.
