American Experience: American Commandante (DVD)

Like something out of a dime store novel or a Hollywood Cold War thriller, the story of William Alexander Morgan has it all—adventure and romance, mobsters and spies, and a cast of characters that includes J. Edgar Hoover, Chè Guevera, and Fidel Castro. Told through eyewitnesses, American Comandante is a quintessential American story of a man who reinvented himself, transforming from a failure to a hero and celebrity.
