Mafia Spies explores the symbiotic relationship between the Mafia, the CIA, and the Kennedy Administration’s efforts to kill Fidel Castro by enlisting mobsters Sam Giancana and Johnny Roselli. Author Thomas Maier explains the U.S. government's reaction to the Russian Sputnik launch that ignited the paranoia and numerous assassination attempts on Castro orchestrated by the CIA. We also discuss the personal lives of these figures and their interactions with celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, The Rat Pack, and famous Hollywood beauties. It is a complex interplay of vanity, ego, and power that defines an era. Mafia Spies' and its television adaptation will air on Paramount and Showtime in mid-July.
