Storming Las Vegas: How a Cuban-Born, Soviet-Trained Commando Took Down the Strip to the Tune of Five World-Class Hotels, Three Armored Cars, and Millions of Dollars

facts not checked, incurate

not so great

A must-read for the 'true crime buff'

A well portayed and narrated account of of the tragic events that occurred in Las Vegas as well as a chilling insight into the charactor of the man who masterminded these events. As a person who works in the armored transportation industry, this book hit especially close to home with me.

True story told with extraordinary novel quality

'Storming Las Vegas' reads like a finely-imagined novel, populated by rich characters, a fast-moving plot, unbelieveable events and complete resolution. Yet this work is far better than fiction. Detailed, meticulously researched, and mesmerizing, author John Huddy has found a way to capture the mentality of a frightening criminal, and temper it with a clear understanding of the events that created him. So-called 'coincidences' are not lost on this author, who is a former network news producer. He uncovers an amazing story of not just the crime spree of Vegas casinos and armored cars beginning in 2000, but the secret dealings behind the capture of Jose Vigoa. Huddy explains better than any political scientist how U.S. policy in small foreign countries helped to create a criminal like Vigoa, a Cuban refugee who came over in the Mariel boatlift. No other person could have gained this information and written this story in such an electrifying way. Few books will make you as angry as this one, an as thankful that writers such as John Huddy exist.

Can't put this one down

It has been a while since I have read a book that is truley a 'page-turner' - and this one really is. Storming Las Vegas, is a high paced true story that is very well written and gets right into the meat and potatoes of the action from start to finnish. I definatley reccomend this book.
